Psalms 103:13: “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.” There are a few little nuances in this verse that many would feel are unimportant. Yet, when you are seeking the heart of God, these little nuances carrying life changing implications. Such is the case
Ps 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Scripture talks of three levels of sin. You have chata’ which is mentioned at the beginning of this verse where God tells us that we will not take on the image or the result of our
Ps 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Say what? Woo Woo, wait a minute, wait one dog gone minute. Am I reading my Hebrew right? Is he actually using the word asah here? And does He also use a Kap before the
Psalms 103:9: “He will not always content, neither will he keep his anger forever.” “It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons. But it is never gone.” Rose Kennedy

Jonah 3:6: “For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.” Jonah lived somewhere around 780 BC. He was probably in his thirties or forties when he preached in Nineveh. The phrase King
Psalms 103:8: “The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.” For me to the best place to start in my study on the passage is on this matter of God being slow to anger. If you have been following my blog you know that an angry God is a
Psalms 103:6: “The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.” Say, how does righteousness and judgment help the oppressed?
