Psalm 145:8 KJV, “The
Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.”
The Lord is
gracious is often repeated which expresses God’s delight in showing mercy. When He sees misery, it moves His heart to
compassion. He is slow to become angry at our offenses and quickly show mercy
when forgiveness is requested.
1 Peter 2:3 KJV, “If
so be if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” Peter explained to those
who were babes in Christ and growing in Him, to remember not to take advantages
of God’s kindness. It means that when God is gracious, it should encourage us
to keep growing in Christ through much prayer and studying His Word.
Let’s read
different verses and get to know more about God’s awesome love. It might cause
us to want to love Him even more. Psalms 145:8, 9, 13b, 17, 18 will tell us what
the Lord is.
“The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to
get angry, full of unfailing love. V.9 The
Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. V. 13b
The Lord is faithful in all He says; He is gracious in all He does. V. 17 The Lord is righteous in everything He
does; He is filled with kindness. V.
18 The Lord is close to all who call
on Him, yes, to all who call on Him sincerely” (NLT).
Finally, it would
causes us to say, “I will praise the Lord, and everyone on earth will bless His
holy name forever and forever” Psalm 145:21.
SONG: SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
And I shall feast at the table spread for me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
