October 9, Morning
Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful.
[Neh.9:17]
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ■ The longsuffering of our Lord is salvation.
[II Pet.3:9 | II Pet.3:15]
For this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. ■ Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
[I Tim.1:16 | Rom.15:4]
Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? ■ Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
[Rom.2:4 | Joel.2:13]
