SLOW TO ANGER

Here's an incredible passage from the 103rd Psalm, one of my favorites:

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

9 He will not always accuse us,
nor harbor His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins
or repaid us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14 For He knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are dust.

I don't recall ever hearing a sermon on this particular passage from a Calvinist or any other "Wrath of God"-type. 

What would they do with it? 

Now granted, the majority of this passage is describing how God relates to "those who fear Him" and not necessarily to the general population. Still, verse 8 makes a general statement about the Lord: He is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. 

Like a parent, right?

I often wonder what drives some believers to emphasize God's anger and wrath over His love? 

It's not Scripture.
