Heavenly Father, what a gracious God You are and full of mercy, for although Your people broke their covenant, rebelled against You, and became an idolatrous nation, You purposed in Your heart to fulfil all the promises You made to their fathers in the wilderness. Thank You that You are not only a God of love and mercy, but also a God of justice, judgement, and a consuming fire Who will one day rid this fallen world of all the evil that has been perpetrated against You and against Your people. Thank You that even in wrath, You have promised to remember mercy. Your goodness and grace are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness and I love You, Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
