"I will bear the indignation of the LORD,
Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness."
Mic 7:9
Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness."
Mic 7:9
How long has it been since you heard a verse like this? Micah 7:9 states that a sinner owns up to his mistakes because he has sinned and allows God to execute justice for him.
This shows us not only the confidence of the believer in his Lord to deliver him from this peril, it also shows an owning up of his path of mistakes. I fall into the great trap of sometimes sinning and not apologizing for it as well. We all take things for granted sometimes and this takes a toll on ourselves and on the relationships we keep.
Don't take this the wrong way because discipline is not something that is bad. (I sorta think that the community of psychologists have made discipline an evil word.) As Hebrews 12:6 once said For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. Just like a fruit that needs pruning or gold that needs to be purified. Discipline and wrath is not necessarily hatred, rage or even abuse as proven here.
