Good morning,
This week we continue our series, Who is God? This devotional will answer that question.
Who is God?
A Devotional Study on the Attributes of God
Arthur Pink et al.
(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.” — Psalm 107:1
God’s goodness is His kindness, generosity, and benevolence in action. Every sunrise, every meal, every comfort, is a token of His goodness. But the supreme display is in the gift of His Son. Even in trials, He works for our good. Let us not doubt His heart, even when we cannot trace His hand.
12. The Patience of God
“The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” — Psalm 103:8
How long God has endured our rebellion! His patience holds back the wrath we deserve, giving space for repentance. Yet it is not weakness—it is holy restraint. Those who reject His longsuffering, invite judgment; those who embrace His mercy, bow in grateful wonder. Praise Him for His forbearance—and plead with others not to presume upon it.
13. The Grace of God
“By grace you have been saved, through faith.” — Ephesians 2:8
God’s GRACE is His freely giving salvation and Heaven to un-deserving, ill-deserving and Hell-deserving sinners. It was grace that chose us, grace that redeemed us, grace that sustains us. We contributed nothing but sin. Grace shatters pride and fuels worship. The believer lives by grace, serves by grace, and will be glorified by grace. Soli Deo Gloria!
“His mercy endures forever.” — Psalm 136:1
God’s MERCY is His not giving damnation and Hell to un-deserving, ill-deserving and Hell-deserving sinners. It is God’s tender heart moved to act on behalf of the miserable. The cross is the mercy seat where justice and mercy met. Every sinner awakened to his dreadful plight must flee there. Let us thank God daily that He delights in mercy—and extend that mercy to others.
15. The Loving-kindness of God
“Because Your loving-kindness is better than life…” — Psalm 63:3
God’s loving-kindness is His steadfast, covenant love expressed in action. It reaches to the heavens, surrounds the believer, and never lets go. It comforts in sorrow, and disciplines in love. The soul that rests in His loving-kindness knows a joy deeper than any worldly pleasure. Let it lead you to praise, obedience, and peace.
