Nehemiah 9:17, "And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not."
This whole chapter is great. It shows how great and merciful God really is. It goes through all that Israel did against God as a people and how merciful God was with them each time. Then verse 33 says, "Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:"
Here he goes on to say that even the judgment God brought upon His people was right and just.
This is so true. I know that God really is this merciful. He has been very merciful and gracious and ready to pardon sins with me. Even when God judges me it is always light and only to bring me back to Him.
I truly serve a great and merciful God. Whose judgment is always right. Who is longsuffering.
Who do you serve?
Thank you God for saving me and being my God!
