Three-Fold Glory Of God

His Creation Glory – In Heaven
Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
 And the firmament shows His handiwork.

His Redemption Glory – In Christ Risen

2 Corinthians 4:4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
 And the firmament shows His handiwork.

His Eternal Glory – In His Saints

1 Peter 5:10
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Isaiah 30:18

“Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”

God is slow to exercise his justice when that justice demands his people's punishment. "Gracious and slow to anger" is a phrase repeatedly used to describe God in the Old Testament. God longs to be gracious and bless his people.

He extends time for us to repent and turn to him. In Jesus, God even gives us his own Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Let's hear the heart of God, and respond by turning our lives and our hearts to the God who longs for us.

Experiencing Life Together

Galatians 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
