When was the last time you got in trouble? Got in a fight with a friend? Made your sibling mad? Argued with a teammate? We’ve all been there, right? 

When things like that happen, people don’t usually respond the way David writes about in this Psalm. Compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, loving—wouldn’t it be nice to give or receive that kind of response from someone, even when we’ve hurt or wronged them? While we may not always get that from the people in our lives, we can be assured that we will always find this response from God. When we mess up, He still loves us. When we get angry, He is patient. When we make a mistake, He is compassionate. No matter what, God will always respond to us out of His love. The next time you find yourself ready to react in anger or frustration, ask God to help you instead respond as He would—with love first.
