Knowing God In Micah 7 (Jun 9)

God who 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.
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 will Bring Us Out of Darkness
for He delights in Unfailing Love:
Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
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 (Mic7:8-9)
Where is another God like You…
You will not stay angry with
Your people forever, because You
delight in showing Unfailing Love.
Once again U will have compassion
on us. U will trample our 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.
Thank You that even if I sink into
darkness, You will be my light.
Thank You 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. And we
must be Patient for You promise
to be our light in the darkness.
Though it may take some time,
You God has not given up on us.
In fact You promise that we
will see Your righteousness.
Gracious Lord bring me out of
the darkness and into Your light.
Show me Your righteousness
and give me the victory. Ame

Lord, Thank You for Your kindness
and tender mercies; for Your Word
says You will throw our sins
into the depths of the ocean.
How gracious of You for that
means You utterly hide them
from sight. What a relief!!
Though men may bring up our past
sins over & over again to torment us,
we need not worry that You God
might bring up my sins in heaven.
We purpose not to take sin lightly;
for it costs Jesus blood & life. Amen
