God describes seven distinct attributes of himself in Exodus 34:6-7, revealing his true nature and character to Moses after the Israelites' rebellion with the golden calf.

• Compassion is the first attribute God reveals, sharing its root with the Hebrew word for "womb," showing the depth of God's protective care
• The word gracious means "to bend or stoop down," illustrating how God actively reaches down to humanity
• These attributes appear 12 times throughout the Old Testament, highlighting their significance
• God didn't have to renew his covenant with the rebellious Israelites, but chose to show compassion
• The parable of the Prodigal Son perfectly illustrates God's compassion and grace
• The father in the parable running to his son demonstrates God's eagerness to restore relationship
• Understanding God's self-described attributes helps us know his true character
