List the attributes of the LORD given in Joel 2:13.

When I look at the attributes of the Lord given in Joel 2:13, the following comes to mind.

Gracious: 2587. channuwn, khan-noon'; from H2603; gracious:--gracious.

(Psa 103:8 KJV)  “The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy,” which means “not treating us as we deserve.”

Compassionate: 7349. rachuwm, rakh-oom'; from H7355; compassionate:--full of compassion, merciful.  (Psa 86:15 KJV)  “But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth,” which means “merciful.”

Slow to anger: 639. 'aph, af; from H599; prop. the nose or nostril; hence the face, and occasionally a person; also (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire:--anger (-gry), + before, countenance, face, + forbearing, forehead, + [long-] suffering, nose, nostril, snout, X worthy, wrath.

(Nahum 1:3 KJV)  “The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet,” which means “long-suffering.’

Abounding in love: (Num 14:18 NIV)  “The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion,” which means “great mercy.”

He relents from sending calamity: (2 Chr 7:14 KJV)  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land,” which means God will forgive.

These attributes of the Lord are listed many times together in the same verse and are very important to understanding the Greatness of our Lord and King, Jesus our Messiah.

(Joel 2:13 NIV)  Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

(Joel 2:13 KJV)  And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
