Psalm 30:5 "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime..."
David knows of what he speaks! He experienced God's anger and God's favor. He says that God's anger is short-lived, and momentary. Thank goodness for David! But God's favor and love lasts.
I always ask myself how I can be more godly in my life. As a father for example, how can I model myself after our heavenly father? What can I learn from this psalm? Does my anger burn too long? Is my favor with my kids something that sticks, or is my favor conditional and temporary? I hope someday my kids could write words similar to these about me.
Dear Jesus, help me be patient with my children. Amen.
