Our Father God Longs to be Gracious to Us!
From Isaiah: "This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says,
'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it....yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore, He will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of Justice, blessed are all who wait for Him.'" Isaiah 30:15-18.
What an amazing God we have! He 'longs to be gracious to us!' He even rises up to greet us and show us mercy when we approach His throne.
The prophet Micah says this: "You delight to show mercy!" (Micah 7:9).
Who would ever even imagine a God like this?
P.S. And notice where our strength lies? "In quietness and trust..."
"Be still and know that I am God" He tell us.
