"Our Merciful God"

What this episode covers

September 03, 2024 Daily Devotion: "Our Merciful God" Micah 1:2-3 New International Version 2 Hear, you peoples, all of you listen, earth and all who live in it, that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness against you the Lord from his holy temple. As if Israel was in a trial and the attorney remembered all their faults, the verses in 2 Kings 17 give us the reasons why Israel went into exile. Micah remembers them in a detailed list that they had feared other gods, they had served idols, they had made wicked things…the list goes on and on. They had made a lot of things that God had told them not to do. They had broken every rule given to them in the Law of God and had sinned in the most awful ways. And yet, verse 13 reminds us how God warned Israel and Judah over and over again “by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes.” Micah was one of these prophets sent to Judah to warn them about the impending judgment of God. The Lord would come in judgment because of their sins. These verses should remind us that the Lord is merciful. Our list of sins may be as big as the sins of the people of Israel and Judah. Yet, He gave them opportunities to repent the same way He gives us opportunities every single morning. Let´s stop wasting the opportunities He gives us and start living according to God and His Word.
