I AM Jehovah-Qanna (Jealous)

Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:24, 6:15

The word jealous in our culture has mostly negative connotations.  To say someone is jealous implies there is something wrong or missing in that person or that there’s some deficiency in that person that is causing them to feel or act in an undesirable manner.  However, when God says he is Qaanna (Jealous) he can’t be referring to some deficiency in his life, so why does he refer to himself in that manner?  Is there another side to this coin? Maybe even a positive and beneficial side? This week we are going to unpack the blessing of having a God who is jealous!
