Psalm 103:8 NLT: “The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.”
It must be challenging, being God over mankind! Some mornings God must shake his head in disbelief. “These humans – there’s no end to their shortcomings!”
That’s why it’s important for us to understand the character of God, what I call the ‘God trend.’ Our God-of-second-chances’ first reaction is always compassion and mercy. Fortunately for us, God’s anger doesn’t come to the surface right away. Our Creator would prefer that everyone repent and return to his care.
Everlasting lovingkindness is how God’s covenant love is described in the Bible. In Hebrew it’s ‘chesed,’ a love and peace so great that it surpasses our ability to comprehend it all.
Knowing God is truly on our side fills us with hope!
Blessings to all today!
