God's Character
November 16, 2021
These six characters came for our Hallelujah weekend.
It is our alternative to Halloween and soooo much fun! We have adults stationed at six doors around the house with praise music playing on their phones and goodies in baskets. Their Papa starts off the evening with a devotional and this year we had a very talented female quartet make a surprise appearance.
Maybe I can learn how to do video downloads and post their song.
The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth. Exodus 34:6
A question was posed to me as to whether I have experienced God's forgiveness after deliberately choosing to disobey His Word. Ugh. I have and the reality makes me feel worse than how these grands feel when I have caught them with their hand in the candy jar without permission.
We are created in the image of God, so lets break down some of these character traits and ask Him to stir our hearts to obedience in every area.
Compassionate...to whom do we need to show more compassion?
Gracious...to whom do we need to offer grace and forgiveness?
Slow to anger...to whom do we need to seek forgiveness for losing our temper?
Abounding with lovingkindness...to whom do we need to offer lovingkindness?
Abounding with truth...to what or whom do we need our eyes opened and the courage to speak truth?
Let's thank God for all his holy characteristics that enrich our lives.
