The Lord Will Be My Light

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the Lord’s wrath, until he pleads my case and upholds my cause.

He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.

Micah 7:8-9

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.

You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago.

Micah 7:18-20

We forget that Jesus has already done so many things on our behalf. He covered our shame, and He set us free to fellowship with God and serve Him daily.

The moment we find Jesus, our eternity with Him begins. He walks alongside us so He can change us into the people we long to be and were created to be.

Look up from your failure, and you’ll find God standing ready to receive you.
