Micah 7:18
“Who is a God
like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of
the remnant of your possession? He does not retain his anger forever, because
he delights in showing clemency.”
Micah
finds God’s mercy incomparable. Though deserving judgement he finds
pardon. Expecting anger, he finds
clemency. The surprising grace of
God…destruction deserved, yet, pardon offered.
Are you
ever surprised by the grace of God? The Apostle Paul framed his wonder with the
following words; “God proves his love for
us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.” Like Micah, we would do well to ask, “Who is
a God like you?”
Prayer:
God, there is none like you. For your
pardon, the surprise of your love in the midst of our sin, we give thanks.
Amen.
