God Shows Unfailing Love
Micah describes God’s people on
trial. The charges against Israel:
halfhearted worship, persistent
rebellion, hypocrisy, greed & idolatry
The verdict can only be guilty; and
the sentence: a generation of exile
in Babylon. Yet the message of
Micah is not complete until he
preached the richness of God’s
forgiveness and grace. Micah knows
that God’s discipline only comes
within the context of His ever-
lasting love. The aftermath of His
wrath brings mercy & forgiveness.
Lord, we delight in Yr Unfailing Love:
I will look to the LORD; I will wait
for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me (Micah 7:7).
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord
Will Be My Light. Because I have
sinned against Him, I will bear
the Lord’s wrath, until He pleads
my case and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out Into the Light;
I’ll see His righteousness (v8-9).
Where is another God like You…
You will not stay angry with
Your people forever, because You
delight in showing Unfailing Love.
Once again You will hv compassion
on us. You’ll trample pour sins under
Your feet and Throw Them into the
depths of the Ocean (v18-19) Amen
Lord, thank You that even if I were
to fall off the path You have for me
to walk, You will still be there to
Lift Me Up when I repent of sins.
And so I will patiently wait upon You
for You are the God of my salvation.
Thank You Lord that You not only
forgive but You will also Restore.
I praise You as the light of my life
and the keeper of my heart. Amen.
Lord, when we sin severely,
we have to expect discipline.
Help us be Patient for You promise
to be our light in the darkness;
and You have not given up on us.
In fact You have promised that
we will see Your righteousness.
Gracious Lord bring me out of
the darkness and into Your light.
Show me also Your righteousness
and give me the victory. Amen.
Lord, grateful for Your tender
mercies; for You throw away sins
into the depths of the ocean.
How gracious of You Lord to
utterly hide them from Your sight.
Though men may bring up our past
sins over & over again to torment us,
You God doesn’t delight to do that;
but delight to show Unfailing Love.
We purpose not to take sin lightly;
for it costs Jesus’ blood & life. Amen
