Day 2: God’s Compassion and Character
Reading: Psalm 103:8-14
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 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. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 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.
Focus: God’s mercy is like a loving father who shows compassion.
Prayer Prompt: Pray for a deeper understanding of God’s mercy and ask for grace to extend mercy to others.
Memory Verse: Romans 3:23—for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
