'He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depth of the sea' (Micah 7:19).
When we sin against God, there are always consequences. In Scriptures we see where Israel, God's chosen people who were suppose to be a light to the heathen nations; sinned against God, turned to the heathen gods, rebelled and disobey God, time and time again. God punished them, led them into captivity, turned away from them in disgust, withdrew His presence and at times didn't want to even see them. But He is a loving, merciful and compassionate Father. When His people whom He loves, acknowledged their sins and iniquities and cried out to him; He turns and manifest His love to them again and applies His pardoning grace. We all at one time or another, find ourselves in that situation; or may still be finding ourselves in those situations. However, when we call upon the Lord, our God, pleading for His forgiveness, He can't but turn to us again and pardon us. That's the God, he is. He is naturally compassionate, as He is merciful and longsuffering. He is full of compassion which never fails yet, and extend His tender mercies which are new every morning, to His people. Just as the good Samaritan had compassion and helped the man attacked by robbers and left to die by the roadside; poured oil and wine into the wounds of the man to help with the healing process. Our Lord and Good Samaritan, with compassion towards us binds up our brokenness; our wounds of discord; of unselfishness; disobedience; sinfulness and unforgiveness. He pours in our wounds the oil of His pardoning grace and heals us. It is for our sins that Christ died; to save us from everlasting death and to restore us back to the Image of God and to reconcile us to Him. Christ conquered and made an end to sin, taking it away with His precious blood. He removes our guilt by pardoning and securing us from the punishment and condemnation of sin, that we may live and reign with Him forever. Let us trust God and be obedient unto him, having confident in His Son who is able to save us from our sins. He promises to turn again and have compassion on us; to subdue our iniquities and cast them in the depths of the sea. What an awesome and amazing God we serve! Our sins when repented of, are covered, blotted out, and pardoned, by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Won't you trust Him and give Him your all, today?
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives.
