As Micah finished giving God’s message, the people began to
ask what they could do to remove their sin. “Ignoring His commandments resulted in a hart
heart that deliberately rebelled against God’s will,” my commentary said. Do we even realize that we are doing the same thing today?
They needed to confess their
sins, yet they asked what they could do
to get rid of them. “Their request shows how shallow their
spiritual life really was and that they were ignorant of the enormity of their
sin and the high cost of forgiveness.”
We are little different today. “Doing penance without truly repenting
and trusting God’s mercy only multiplies the sin and deadens the conscience,”
my commentary added.
It’s vitally important that we come clean with ourselves. “The only people God can save are lost people;
the only people God can forgive are guilty people. If we see ourselves as God sees us, then we
can by faith become what He wants us
to become.”
I loved the last few verses:
“There is no God like You. You
forgive those who are guilty of sin; You don’t look at the sins of Your people
who are left alive. You will not stay
angry forever, because You enjoy
being kind. You will have mercy on us
again; You will conquer our sins. You will throw away all our sins into the deepest part of the sea.”
Father, forgive me for sinning against You and Your great
love for me. Do this for me, Father – every day.
And help me to trust You more
so that I will not sin against You.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
