Scripture:
“The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.” Psalms 103:8 NLT
Observation:
This passage uses this phrase that was pretty common in the Psalms to describe God. He is seen here as compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. When we think of God, we must see Him appropriately. He is not an angry God. He has great compassion and mercy for us. His love never fails.
Application:
We should make it our goal to be more like the Lord in our lives. Therefore, it should be said of us that we are compassionate and merciful. We should be observed as slow to get angry and willed with unfailing love. I have to ask myself the question this morning: Am I compassionate? Am I merciful? Am I slow to get angry? Am I filled with love that doesn’t fail? If not, I have some work to do.
Prayer:
Father, help me to be more like You every day. I want to live a life that brings You glory and honor. Help me to walk in Your characteristics. I want to represent You well on the earth in my generation. Help me to live a life that honors You and shows people what Christ is like.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
