Taken from a psalm of praise written by King David, these verses revel in God’s amazing character.
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. (Psalm 145:8-9)
Gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, abundantly and tenderly merciful, good and merciful to all—these qualities should give us great comfort about the God who’s on our side, the God who saved us, the God who offers salvation to all, the God who walks with us through life. There are many people who talk about who God is, but let’s seek to take the Bible’s word for it above anyone else’s. May these verses serve to remind you of the good character of God.
