Contemplative Bible Reading

Micah 7:18 (New Living Translation)

Where is another God like you,
who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
because you delight in showing unfailing love.

The prophet Micah is describing God to the people. Punishment, punishment, and more punishment is coming for the masses for all the repeated sins of centuries.

Still, there is a remnant—a small remaining group of faithful. Yes, this remnant was sinful as well. They were, however, special in their remorse.

God would not stay angry with this remnant forever. God delights in showing unfailing love.

Let’s repeat that one: God delights in showing unfailing love.

Stop. Let it soak in. Breathe in thanksgiving. Thank you God. Let me never forget.
