Never fails us!


Today's reading about sin, guilt, punishment was hard to read until I got to Micah 7:18-20...
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.

Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago.

To the depths of the ocean with our trampled sins! YES! I love it, but more than that I love that God can't stay angry with us forever, because He delights in showing unfailing love! Do you get it? Unfailing love no matter what His love never fails!!! Our friends, our family, others we care about may fail, but never will God fail us! WE are human and we will fail, but GOD is not human and HE alone will never fail!

Cling today to the words ~ You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago! God Keeps HIS PROMISES!

Sweet blessings,
Debbie

The mention of God's unfailing love reminds me of Psalm 92:1-2.

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim Your UNFAILING LOVE in the morning, and Your FAITHFULNESS in the evening."
