The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 103:13-14,
"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust."
This wonderful insight of David comes to us as he speaks of those who fear the Lord. The Lord is like a father who is compassionate toward his children. This brings to my mind what Paul has to say about God in his second letter to the church in Corinth regarding the purpose God has in mind relative to his compassion for those who are his: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
Such an intimate, loving and caring disposition God has for those who are his! He is truly "the God of all comfort"! While those who fail to embrace him in faith and fail to harbor a healthy reverence and fear of God will certainly face his wrath and judgment, his care and loving kindness for those who are his is wonderful! His compassion is ours to experience, to behold and to exult in!
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd love to hear from you!
