The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.
Exodus 34:6-7
Devotional Message
In moments of uncertainty or failure, we often question if God’s love for us remains steadfast. Yet when we take in the words of this verse, we remember God’s own declaration of His character–compassionate, gracious, patient, loving, and forgiving. This self-revelation came after Israel’s failure in worshiping the golden calf, demonstrating that God’s love persists even in our darkest moments.
Today, remember that God’s nature doesn’t change with your circumstances, decisions or actions. Regardless of the season you’re in or the emotions in your heart, His love is a constant force, even in moments where you may feel unworthy of it. If you need grace, He will be abundantly compassionate. If you make a mistake, He will automatically forgive. His love and faithfulness aren’t dependent on your performance but flow from His unchanging character. Rest in this truth: the same God who declared his character to Moses is the same God who walks with you today, extending the same compassion, grace, patience, love and forgiveness to you in every situation you face.
Let’s Pray
Dear God, thank you for revealing your true nature to me. When I’m tempted to believe that your love changes based on my actions, remind me of who you truly are – overflowing with love and forgiveness. Please Help me to receive your grace and extend that same grace to myself, guiding me to feel worthy of it. In moments when I feel distant from you, draw me back and remind me of your patience and forgiveness. Allow your unchanging character to be my foundation today, giving me confidence to approach you with every need and struggle. Let me live today reflecting your character to everyone I encounter. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, and for allowing me to feel deserving of your love. Amen.
