-Seventy One- Who Is A God Like You?

Who is a God Like You?

Today’s Reading and Focal Verses: 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.

He will again have compassion on us,

And will subdue our iniquities.

You will cast off our sins

Into the depths of the sea.

There are some people who will never forgive you.  You may have apologized and may have changed whatever behavior hurt them in the first place, but the memory of that hurt is stronger for them than your efforts since.  It is a sad thing to see relationships destroyed.
God had the right to stay angry with His people.  They rejected Him and turned to other man-made gods so many times that no one could have blamed for walking away or even destroying them.
But “He delights in mercy”.  It is a joy to Him to forgive us when we return to Him, and we can count on open-armed love and acceptance because He casts our sins away from sight.  No one can sit on a boat out where the ocean is deep and see the bottom.  There are recesses of the ocean never seen by man, and that’s how our forgiven sins are to God.
Who is a God like You?

Praise be to God who is so full of grace that He removes your sin from His sight.  Stop brooding over what He has already forgiven and cast away.
