Knowing God - He is Slow to Anger


Ps 103:8

The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.



God is full of mercy.  The Lord is gracious.  The Lord is slow to anger.  The Lord has plenty of mercy.  Our God is not quickly angered or holding things against us.  He is a God who so desired our forgiveness and cleansing that He gave His only Son to die for us.  His sacrifice shows that He truly is a God who is so willing to forgive that He would give Himself for us to have this mercy.  Our adversary is out to paint our God in a harsh and unreasonable light.  Because our God is so full of mercy we need to come to Him with any and all of our struggles.  We need not fear approaching Him with our sin or requesting His help in overcoming something.  The Lord is full of mercy and loves it when we come to Him for help, cleansing and forgiveness.  This blesses His heart.  He is very slow to anger and has plenty of mercy for us.  What a safe place to be – in His presence!
