The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Exod 34:6
Note the first characteristic about himself that God chooses to make known. What is significant about this? Why do you think God added the word “abounding” to the already power packed word “steadfast love”? God wants us to know something about Himself that we find difficult to fully believe. He is extravagant in his love. Lavish and generous beyond belief! This is our God.
