Today’s reading is from Psalm 103, verses 8 through 14. As we listen, can I pay attention to what the Holy Spirit might want me to hear? Are there any words or phrases that catch my ear or my heart today?

8 The LORD is tender and kind. He is gracious. 

He is slow to get angry. He is full of love. 

9 He won’t keep bringing charges against us. 

He won’t stay angry with us forever. 

10 He doesn’t punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished. 

He doesn’t pay us back in keeping with the evil things we’ve done. 

11 He loves those who have respect for him. 

His love is as high as the heavens are above the earth. 

12 He has removed our sins from us.

He has removed them as far as the east is from the west. 

13 A father is tender and kind to his children. 

In the same way, the LORD is tender and kind 

to those who have respect for him. 

14 He knows what we are made of. 

He remembers that we are dust. 

LORD, you are a God who is tender and kind. You are gracious. You are slow to get angry. You are faithful and full of love. Come to our aid, and have mercy on us. Show your strength by helping us. Prove your goodness to us, so that we can sing about it to the world. Let people hear our songs, know you, and be healed. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
