“因此，耶和华必等候要恩待你们；他必兴起来怜悯你们，因为耶和华是公义的神。等候他的，都是有福的。”
以赛亚书 30:18
“Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.”
Isaiah 30:18
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.
