“The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in
lovingkindness.  The Lord is good to all,
and His mercies are over all His works.” 
(Psalm 145:8-9)

It is good the Lord is slow to
anger.  He has been patient with
humanity.  He is awaiting the number of
those who are and will be His forever. 
Learn from the Lord and trust that all things are in His hands.  Be guided by the goodness of His mercy and know
that He is accomplishing what He has purposed. 
Come into His presence to be guided by Him now and forever and live with
Him.

Lord, in this mixed up world I see so many variances and so much
anger.  Sin causes grief and
heartache.  Guide me in Your ways that I
too would be slow to anger and abounding in Your steadfast love.  Lead me by Your grace and mercy to see
through immediate circumstances and be led by the eternal promises You have
given us all.  Lead me in the way of
salvation and into everlasting life.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being
the answer to fallen humanity.  You have
come to lead the way for as many as will follow.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of everlasting
life.  Lead me according to the Father’s
will to do those things which are pleasing in His sight.  May I now and always take Your lead in every
situation and do things in a way that is right, fitting, and abounding with
Your love.  Amen.
