MAY 22, Proverbs 14:29 

God said, “Let there be light, and there was light,” the Sunday school teacher was teaching and Jenny was listening. She was also thinking. She thought not only about how great and wonderful God is, but how fast God is in making Day and Night and the millions and millions of plants and animals of the world. God made all things just by speaking and it was so.

But God is slow about one thing. He is slow to anger. Even though we sin everyday He doesn’t punish us as we deserve right away. No, He is very patient with us. For Jesus’ sake, He does not treat us as we deserve, but He forgives us all our sins. The next time you get angry and lose your temper, think of God who is slow to anger. Be of great understanding.
