Habakkuk 3:2-3, 13
2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. 13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for salvation with Your Anointed. You struck the head from the house of the wicked, by laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah

Though God has every right as Lord and Creator of all to be angry with each one of us, He chose to demonstrate mercy where justice was due. He revived His fallen work - us - to be able to praise Him as the heavenly host of angels constantly do. He as the Christ came forth with salvation from His anger and justice on our sin to show that mercy, exposing our sin and healing it with the balm of forgiveness and grace. We neither earn nor deserve any of it.
