Chapter 848 of 1163

MICAH 7

A faithful God (1–7). The prophet was disgusted because the people were all given over to deception. He couldn’t even find one faithful man (1 Kings 19:10; Ps. 12:1; Isa. 57:1). When people fail you, remember that the Lord is always faithful. Make the same three decisions that the prophet made: “I will look, I will wait, I will pray” (v. 7).

A righteous God (8–13). God lifts up those who fall and gives light to those who are in the darkness. Even when He must deal with us because of our sins, He does what is best. Be patient, for He will one day defeat your enemies and bring you into blessing.

A pardoning God (14–20). God delights in mercy! When we come to Him and confess our sins, He pardons us, puts our sins underfoot like defeated enemies, and hurls them into the depths of the sea and they are seen no more. (See Ps. 103:12; Isa. 38:17; Jer. 31:34; Acts 3:19.)

God’s Pardon

In wonder lost, with trembling joy,

We take the pardon of our God,

Pardon for sins of deepest dye,

A pardon bought with Jesus’ blood.

Who is a pardoning God like Thee?

Or who has grace so rich and free?

Samuel Davies
