Day 106 – Psalm 103

“The LORD pities those who fear Him.” Psalm 103:13b

GOD’S UNDERSTANDING OF OUR HUMAN WEAKNESSES

God is far more compassionate than many give Him credit for! He understands us much more than we realize!

“As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.”
Psalm 103:13-14

i) Especially those with a weak character.

2. “So the LORD pities those who fear Him”
