Abounding

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding
in love.

Psalm 103:8, New International Version


I looked up the word abounding and it basically means "you have more than you need"

I am amazed at the clearness of scripture in this passage. God is a god who can be angered. As I look back at the old testament, his anger and wrath are evident. But in this Psalm, it is said God is slow to anger. This means he is patient with me. That is a good thing!

If I got what I deserved, I would be hit by a lightning bolt and be taken away.

BUT,

He has abounding love. God is the author of grace and forgiveness. Lord, let me be more like you....

SLOW to Anger

and Abounding in LOVE
