Defending His Honor

Psalm 106:8 - Even so, He saved them - to defend the honor of His name and to demonstrate His mighty power.

Despite Israel's foolish behavior in the wilderness, God protected them.  He resisted destroying them, because He didn't want anyone to think He led them out to just humiliate them.  He showed that it was in His power to forgive as well as destroy, and that forgiveness takes more power than destruction.

What an amazing display of His unfailing love that God demonstrated.  I want to be like this.  Love costs.  It's easier to hate than to love.  But I am willing to pay price to see His favor.

Dear Lord, instill in me that spirit of love and forgiveness that You display so very prominently.  Teach me to love and forgive like Jesus.  Amen!

God Bless!!!
