Who is a God Like You
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.
19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19
There is no one like our God. In the Old Testament God repeated His warnings of pending judgement. God also, revealed His compassionate heart by relentlessly pursuing His disobedient people. The final BSF lesson on God's Divided Kingdom reminds us of God's character.
"God...provides comfort, tenderly understands, has persistent patience, showers us with great love, and intervenes to alleviate human suffering."
Whew, Look back over the list and see if any of those things can be said of you.
"When Israel's leaders and people rejected God as an intimate part of everyday life, the nation floundered. When they lived with constant awareness of Him, they flourished. God was present among His people-ready, willing, and able to guide, protect, and lead them to their highest purpose as a nation. The very same God remains present with us, undeterred by our sinful wandering...He meets us amid life's chaos."
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans 15:4
"The God who loves you perfectly provides the only true source of shelter in this life and for eternity." BSF
