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.
