How often do you think about God being gentle? While I frequently think about His greatness, His power, and His sovereignty, I usually forget that He is also gentle. But this is a very important attribute to study because it balances His strength and might.
Let's see what Scripture has to say about God's gentleness:
2 Samuel 22:36 - " You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great" (NKJV).
Matthew 11:29 - " Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (NKJV).
It's good to know that we serve a strong and powerful God. But it's equally good to know that He is gentle with us, too. As the psalmist says so well, "For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust" (NKJV, emphasis added). Our Heavenly Father deals with us gently, knowing that we are frail and need His tender care.
