day six.

Title: God Reveals Himself
Passage: Exodus 33:21-34:7
Topic: Forgiveness

the theme that i got out of this passage this morning comes mostly out of Exodus 34:6-7, which reads:

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “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.

i held onto the word of forgiveness after reading this passage, because it is a quality of God that i think more people today, myself included, could pray about and ask God for. i struggle with forgiving others sometimes, especially when it’s something that has hurt me or made me upset. it’s just not as easy to forgive them - and i mean really forgive them: not just with your mouth and with your mind, but with your heart and soul. it’s one of the many awesome qualities of God that i look up to and appreciate, because He forgives us of “wickedness, rebellion, and sin.”

Jesus teaches us that forgiveness is incredibly important. an example would be Matthew 18:21-22. we’re called not to forgive just once, but forgive over and over and over again. that’s the quality of God that i attached myself to during this morning’s passage, and something i’m going to continue to pray on throughout the week.
