5And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD. 6Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out:
“The LORD, the LORD God,
is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger,
abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
7maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations,
forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin.
Yet He will by no means excuse the guilty;
He will visit the iniquity of the fathers
on their children and grandchildren
to the third and fourth generations.”
“LORD descended in a cloud” How else could He have done it if no man could look at Him in His glory and live?
Gracious:
“That word has gone out of fashion. Our fathers petrified it; they made it the foundation-stone of a structure of granite, in which the souls of men could find no rest, and therefore we rather dread that word – Grace. And yet there is no greater word in the language than the word that stands for the undeserved, free gift of the Love of God.” (F. B. Meyer)
“Not merely adequate, but abounding is this great God of glory. He has barns and silos full of love and faithfulness; he is stacking it in the streets looking for a distribution system.” (Erwin)
“To the third and fourth generation: a common Semitic idiom to express continuance.” (Cole)
You can be part of His distribution system or Satan’s!
Which distribution system have you chosen?
Blessings, David
