[Discoveries] 01-07-08 An open invitation -- Psalm 103:8

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in 
love. -- Psalm 103:8*/

For most of my life, I have not been slow to anger. If someone insulted 
me, I have been quick to anger, quick to take offense. Thankfully, the 
Lord has been working in me, and His character is more and more taking 
the place of my old defensiveness.

The LORD is slow to anger. What does this mean in practical terms?

It means that we can run to God with all our faults. God's patience is 
an open invitation for us to receive the renewal that we need.

Do you like to sin? You can come to God. He will reason with you. He 
will show you a better way -- and you will be convinced deep down inside 
that what He has to offer is superior, more satisfying, a better deal.

Do you feel so torn up with guilt and shame that you dare not lift your 
head? You can come to God. He will receive you and bring the cleansing 
that you need.

Is your heart divided? Are you the double-minded man that James 
describes? You can come to a patient God who can gently touch all the 
different parts of your mind and make you whole.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
