Micah 7
God demonstrates all of his attributes all of the time. We cannot see God as angry without seeing Him as full of mercy and compassion (v18-19). He is also faithful (v20).
Yes God is angry at Israel and Judah but He is also full of mercy and compassion, and He is faithful. These among His many attributes which He displays all the time. God is big...too big for us to even imagine who He is. And this is a God who loves me, hears me, and who pardons sin and forgives transgression.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God whose anger is justified and who does not stay angry but instead is full of mercy and compassion, forgiveness, etc. Thank You God for all that You are and do. I am not worthy of such love. I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve, You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me....Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. v7,18
