Slow to Anger?
Dear Lord, I pray for those know the Lord is slow to anger, merciful, and gracious. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever give thought to how slow God is to anger? God could react swiftly to sinful behavior without giving a chance for sinners to repent and turn away from their sin.
Psalm 103:6-10 (ESV) portrays God’s justice, mercy, and grace. The verses also show him as slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
“The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.”
Are you harboring some secret sin? Reading these verses, are you inclined to change some aspect of your life? Then take action. Do not delay.
