Psalm 145...........

Good morning to all those who read..
.PLEASE share my blog with others, they might need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ too....
I have been reading the Pslms, One of which is the topic of todays blog notes.....
Psalm 145:8..
"The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."
  I looked in the commentaries and such, there was sooo much, I am going to need to sum it up..but, as you all know, I can get long winded...LOL! Gods Word is chalked soooo full of truth, How can I sum it up?
Look at this with your heart, not just what you read with your eyes.....
The Lord is Gracious. His Holy nature is ever disposed to show favor, to all living men, he is gracious, or full of goodness and generosity.. He treats creatures with kindness, his subjects with consideration, and his saints favor. His words and ways, his promises and his gifts, his plans and poses all manifest His grace, or free favor. Grace to the unworthy.
Full of compassion....
Whenever He sees Misery, his eye effects His Heart .In the most tender manner; hence he came to this world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on this earth showed his compassion, and particularly had compassion both  on the ignorant,   and them that were out of the way; pitying those that were as sheep without a shepherd. To the weak, the despondant, He is vry pitiful: He feels FOR them, He feels WITH them, and in a healthy manner. Of this pitifulness, he is sooo full, so he compassionates freeely, constantly, deeply, divinely, and effectually. In such fullness, this is NOT known among human men, this fullness is all fragrant sympathy for human misery. If the Lord be so full of this, there is NO room for forgetfullness or harshness.
In God there is NO passion, only compassion.
Or Merciful, in the most tender manner; hence he came into the world to save sinners, and in his pity redeemed them; and when on earth showed his compassion both to the bodies and souls of men, by healing the one and giving instructions to the other. Is very compassionate to his people under all their temptations, afflictions, trials, and exercises....
Slow to anger.....
Even those who refuse his grace yet share in long suffering, when men do not repent, but, on the contrary, go from bad to worse, averse to let his wrath flame forth against them. Greatly patient and anxious that the sinner may live, he "lets the lifted thunder drop", and still bears. "Love suffereth long and is kind", and God i slove.Though often provoked by all of our calamities and reproaches, and by our ill behaviour to him in various instances; yet we never read but once of his being angry, and that was through grief hardness of their hearts(MT 3:5); and likewise to his own disciples, who were often froward and perverse, and of bad spirits, very troublesome and afflictive to him, yet, He patiently bore with them.
And of great mercy....
This is his attude towards the guilty. when men at last repent, find pardon awaiting them. Great is their sin and greater yet is Gods mercy, they then have it though they deserve it not; for he is good to the greatly guilty. A merciful High Priest, typified by the mercy seat, where we may find Grace and Mercy at all times; through whom God is merciful to sinners,and to those mercy were to look for eternal life.
He is ready to give and to forgive, more ready then WE are to forgive, more ready than we are to ask, and then we are to repent.
I sure dont want to miss out on HIS character....how about you?


Love to all who read....
