The
Lord; the Lord that is God is full of pity, showing mercy, ready to extend
grace. He is patient in His compassion, and always can be trusted to be the
Truth. (Exodus 34:6)
It
is critical for you to know who God is. He is righteous and just. This is His world,
and He will someday call men and women to account. In the end you can either
trust god and His way, or you will trust in another way you choose apart from
Him. In Proverbs (14:12 and 16:25), you read that any choice other than God’s
way ends in death, so it is important to understand God and to understand this
choice.
Moses
has just witnessed a small glimpse of God, and in these words the Lord is
describing to him what he saw. This was God’s first-person description of
Himself to Moses. How encouraging it is that God chooses to describe Himself in
these ways. Although He later explains that He is a God of justice and
judgment, His first words are descriptions of His love, affection, and His
desire for relationship. God also assures Moses, and you, that He is always
trustworthy and always true. No one else could make that promise. No one else
could deliver if they did.
Take
heart in God’s words of hope and assurance, and trust Him and His way for your
life today.
