Given the choice, I prefer to be favored rather than to have wrath shown to me!
As an American, I revel in the privileges I have. Not to a king do I answer, but to other governed officials who, for the most part, leave me alone. I am not constantly watched (except perhaps by Google!). My actions do not put me in peril each day of wondering if my head will be chopped off, if I will be imprisoned for some crazy law that was just ordained, or many other things that folks who live under the dominion of a king.
"We've had vicious kings, and we've had idiot kings...but I don't know if we've ever been cursed with a vicious idiot for a king!"
―Tyrion Lannister, summarizing King Joffrey

Lately we have watched a lot of television that deals with kingdoms. The power definitely went to those in official positions heads! Many "crimes" were punished in extreme ways. The fear of the people was palpable. On the other hand, those whom the king favored had it made. They could live a life of peace, of pleasure, of normalcy.
My King Jesus is on His throne, watching me, favoring me, and leading me the way a real king should. He shows me benevolence when I fall, mercy when I stray, and so much kindness in just the day to day silly little mistakes I make. He is Whom I serve and I do so without fear of retribution for my human frailties. I serve Him with love and with obedience because I want to, not because I have to. His "strong vengeful anger" is not going to be directed at me. Thank You, God, that You are a kind King and a loving One.
