Psalm 145:8
The Difference in Slow and Fast
Are you hot-tempered or does it take a lot to get you angry?
What kind of person would you rather be around—a hot-tempered person or a patient, loving person?
What kind of Heavenly Father do you prefer? One quickly angered by your shortcomings or one who is slow to anger?
If you said you’d rather be in a relationship with a Heavenly Father who is slow to anger and great in love, there is wonderful news for you. Psalm 145:8 says, “The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.”
Think about the blessing of God being slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.
Praise Him for all the ways you are thankful for who He is.
Lord, thank You for being SLOW TO ANGER. Forgive me when I think, do, or say things that are not in keeping with You and Your will. Help me be ever mindful of Your glory and holiness and increasingly align my thoughts and actions to Yours.
The Prayers of My Heart prayer journal is a great place to record your thanks to God for all the ways He is revealed in the Bible. It is also a thoughtful and meaningful gift for someone who is going through a hard time. Share with them the benefit of focusing on who God is and because of who He is, the many ways He can help them.
Do You Know What It Is to Be Greatly Loved?
Many people do not know what it means to be loved. But we do. We are the recipients of God’s and Jesus’ great lovingkindness toward us. Psalm 145:8 clearly states their great love, “The LORD is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.”
Not only does God extend His lovingkindness to us, but He is great in lovingkindness. This means He possesses and bestows an abundant, overflowing measure of grace, compassion, mercy, kindness, goodness, and love upon us. There’s nothing we have done or can do to earn His lovingkindness. It’s God’s nature, as 1 John 4:8 tells us—“God is love.”
Do you need to be reminded of God’s lovingkindness today? If so, say these words out loud and personalize them:
“God is slow to anger with me. God is great in lovingkindness toward me. God the Father has proved His love for me by sending Jesus to earth to pay for my sins. Jesus has proved His great love for me by dying on the cross.”
God is slow to anger. He is great in lovingkindness. Praise Him, serve Him, and tell others!
Lord, I rejoice in and am humbled by how You are GREAT IN LOVINGKINDNESS!
