Psalms 145:8

Psalms 145:8

Slow to anger, and of great mercy.

Sin a provocation and a misery

I. The provocative power of sin. God is susceptible of provocation.

1. He is not cold intellect.

2. He is not indifferent to moral conduct.

3. His nature revolts at sin.

4. However great His displeasure, He controls it.

II. The misery-producing power of sin. It has turned our Eden into a vale of tears. (David Thomas, D. D.)
