God Wants To Forgive You
Micah 7:18/19 “Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. 19 He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” Micah asks here in reverence, ‘how come is it that we do all these things wrong against you and others, yet you bestow on us mercy & grace’?
V19 [NIRV] “Once again you will show loving concern for us. You will completely wipe out the evil things we’ve done”
What an awesome God we have, that He will do this for us, that we can have a personal connection Him. V18 “Who is a God like You” Seriously, I feel what a God we have, that He is willing too, just like you, Think of it like this your trying to write a letter and you make a mistake half way through and have screw up the letter this what God is doing for us here, He gives us a fresh page to start again. As is ..V19 “He will throw all [yes all] our sins into the bottom of the Sea” .. just let that sink in for minuet.
OK??
Let the following remarks ring in your ears in the coming days ..
~ What do you imagine about God after you’ve sinned?
~ Do you imagine an angry God, quick to you away?
~ Do you imagine Him indignant that you failed yet again?
The Bible assures that His anger & disappointment in us passes quick.. Psalms V6:1 “O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.” .. Our plea to God to with hold only His anger towards… V30:1 “For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning” His displeasures does abait here, that does not mean we are to repeat our sins, hence why we turned away from our old sinful lives...V85:4 “Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease” ..Isaiah 12:1 "And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. He actually delights in giving His Mercy, to humble and repentant heart .. Psalms 31:7 “I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities”
God really takes no joy in judgement, that is if we truly want to please him, we need to stop trying to hide our sins & failures from Him. Instead bring them out and lay them at His feet, in the light of day and forsake them, so God can help us deal with them. Then, after this, showing us His tender mercy and grace.
