Exodus 34:6-7
The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out,
“Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.”
Thoughts/Prayer
Let the incense of a pure heart and clean hands rise up to You, oh YHWH.
Through You alone we have our breath, our lifeblood.
Rise up, praise!
Rise up from your deathbed, oh my Soul!
Rise up and give praise to the One who set in motion all things,
and will bring to an end all things that war against His Holy Name!
Pass before us, oh compassionate, gracious and patient God. Pass before us so that we can fall under your shadow and live!
Sing to Him, dry bones!
Oh sing you vacant carcasses in the earth!
You are gracious in kindness and Truth, YHWH
offering forgiveness to the generations who return to You in repentance.
You hold back Your judgement on the nations who turn to You.
But Your righteous judgement will prevail against the nations of people who rebel against You.
Rise up from your sleep of despair, Oh soul, and praise the merciful One!
Through You, YHWH,
everything has breath and has its being!
Praise YOU!!
Praise YHWH!
