This episode launches our exciting new series exploring God's character that will run from September through December. We begin with the profound moment in Exodus 34 when God passes before Moses and proclaims His name: "The Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."
We contrast God's natural inclination toward grace with our human tendency to justify anger and impatience. While we rush to defend our right to be upset, God consistently chooses compassion. His "hesed"—covenant loyalty and enduring kindness—means His grace isn't a temporary emotion but a permanent commitment, especially for those in Christ.
The challenge for us isn't about striving harder to be good people. It's about alignment—positioning ourselves to allow God's character to flow through us naturally. We invite you to join us on this journey of discovery and transformation by looking for evidence of God's compassion and grace in your everyday life this week.
