Slow to Anger

Psalm 103:8

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in mercy.

Power Points

God is full of mercy and grace.

He is slow to anger.

I am grateful that our sin, disobedience, and slothfulness does not easily frustrate God.

WARNING: This characteristic of God does not mean that we can take him for granted and continue to live any way we see fit.

Even as God is slow to anger there are still consequences for all of our actions.

On another note we are made in God's image, therefore we are to be merciful, gracious, and slow to anger with one another as well.

God Appoints Both

Ecclesiastes 7:14

In the day of prosperity be joyful. But in the day of adversity consider. Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, so that man can find out nothing that will come after him.


Power Points

When times are good, be thankful to the Lord. Rejoice!!!

When God allows adversity in your life, consider why. Look for the sin, the lesson, and God.

God allows both good and bad in our lives to help us remain thankful & humble; to grow & mature; and to totally depend on Him in all things.

Wisdom and Money

Ecclesiastes 7:12

For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.


Power Points

Defense -resistance against attack; to guard against assault or injury

We have an enemy that attacks us. This scripture gives us tools to use to protect us from the attacks.

That tools are wisdom and money.

God has also given us what we need to get them both.

James 1:5 tells us "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

Deuteronomy 8:18 says, "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."

Let's get our defenses up!!!

Special Note
Please be mindful of the reason for the power in Deuteronomy 8:18. The purpose is to establish God's covenant.
