Thank God for keeping His anger!

I was listening to a sermon yesterday and the preacher was preaching on Psalm 103. He shared these verse and they really hit home with me:





Psalm 103:8-10

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 He will not always strive with us,

Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.



Wow think on these for a moment. So much good stuff here!



1. God is merciful! What if he wasn't? We would be dead and in hell that is for sure!

2. God is slow to anger. Like a good Father he is patient with us!

3. V9 reminds us that time is running out....judgement will come!

4. God sees his children through the blood of Jesus! Therefore we don't get what we deserve...which is death and hell. Also for those that are not saved, as long as they are alive, He is not giving them what they deserve for their sins either as He is patients hoping all will come to see their sin, repent, and turn to Jesus for salvation!



God is so good! Thank you Jesus for not giving us what we deserve!
