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 or patient, loving one? What kind of Heavenly Father do you prefer? One quickly angered by your shortcomings or slow to anger.  If you said you’d rather be in a relationship with someone who is slow to anger and great in love, you’re on the same page as Psalm 145:8. Psalm 145 encourages us to give thanks for God’s name and to praise Him. Why? “The Lord is gracious and merciful; SLOW TO ANGER and great in lovingkindness.”  Prayers of My Heart journal is a great place to record your thanks to God for all the ways the Bible reveals His character.  It is also a thoughtful and meaningful gift for those those on your Christmas list.

Lord, thank You for being SLOW to ANGER. You are a gracious and merciful God. We love You and thank You!
