A Busy Week and Verse 5

This week has been a busy week between Kindergartners, a Birthday Party, baskets, and a Bible Study. I really enjoy busy weeks because Sabbath is all the more sweeter. I remember thinking on Tuesday, "I can't wait till Sabbath because it is going to be great." Then I remembered that Sabbath was going to be full as well but I think it will be just as sweet. A midst all of  this busyness I have not been on the computer to write down what last weeks verse was. I have to admit that it was a challenge for me to memorize but well worth it.

And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not. - Nehemiah 9:17

Now one may be thinking why in the world I would choose that verse. Well during my morning devotions two Sundays ago I came across this verse. I wanted to memorize a verse that highlighted God's character and made it plain. This verse did just that and while it is talking about the rebellion of the Israelites it  further illustrates the depth of God's grace. I realized that God's love is so deep who can know its depths.I want to memorize verses that will point me to the character of God because by beholding we become changed and I want my character to be like God's character.
