No human being could have patience with you: you would have wearied out an angel, as you have wearied your sorrowing father, but God is longsuffering. Come and try Him at once. Confess, believe, and turn from your evil way, and you shall be saved."
You Deal with God
"I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man."
~ Hosea 11:9

Sin squeezes the life out of you! |
 |
The stepping stones that lead you down the path to Christ! |
"The Lord thus makes known His sparing mercies. It may be that you are under heavy displeasure, and everything threatens your speedy doom. Let the text hold you up from despair. The Lord invites you to consider your ways and confess your sins. If He had been man, He would long ago have cut you off.
You rightly judge that He is angry, but He keeps not His anger forever: if you turn from sin to Jesus, God will turn from wrath. Because God is God, and not man, there is still forgiveness for you, even though you may be steeped up to your throat in iniquity.
No human being could have patience with you: you would have wearied out an angel, as you have wearied your sorrowing father, but God is longsuffering. Come and try Him at once. Confess, believe, and turn from your evil way, and you shall be saved."(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
