Psalm 103: 9, 10 “He will
not always accuse, nor
will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.”
This
psalm is full of descriptions of God’s character, and this verse might be one
of my favorites. Oh, how different God
is from the way we are.
The one
who accuses and harbors angers and treats us poorly is our enemy – the devil. He constantly brings up our failures, plants
thoughts into our minds to make us feel ashamed, and he would like to kill us.
But wait!
The One
we serve and love does not do these things.
He loved us so much, knowing we would mess up royally, and instead of
giving us what we deserve – He gave us His son!
This world
is full of people who give…only if they get in return. They are nice…only to those who are nice to
them. And they accuse…before they even
know the facts.
We are
sinners, yet He loved us. He gave
Himself up for us. And He forgives us
and remembers our sins no more.
We
serve an awesome God.
