Today's verse is Exodus 34:6
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Israel had just sinned, and sinned greatly. Moses is now going back up the mount, to fix what he had broken, and at this point is when God, the gracious, longsuffering God, reveals this part of himself to Moses, and to us. This truly is a great thing, of which the God we serve is to be praised. I was just looking at those of you who have started reading my blog last week (Thank you) I remembered, “But let him that glorieth glory in this, That he understandeth and knoweth me, That I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: For in these things I delight, saith the Lord.” And again, “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” And so, I will rejoice, but as we Glory in God for this So Great Salvation, we must also remember the warning found in the very next verse after the one quoted above, and fear, for as he is abundant in goodness and truth, He is also a God of Judgment, who that will by no means clear the guilty. Amen.
To God be the Glory
