Scripture Reading: Micah 5 –
7 Hebrews 7
S=Scripture O=Observation
A=Application P=Prayer SOAP for the soul.
S. Mic 7:18-19 Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing
over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain
His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have
compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our
sins into the depths of the sea. NKJV
O. Micah preaches
destruction and heavy judgment against the sins of the people that God had
specifically called out and blessed with His laws. They knew better, but
they consistently failed. But just as in the books of many of the other
prophets, Micah closes his message with hope. Our sinfulness is not
denied, but God is presented as ready to forgive us whenever we come to Him
with humility and repentance.
A. I am so glad that I
have met the true and living God Who is ready to pardon my sins. He is
the One Who delights in mercy.
P. Lord Jesus, You, too,
like the prophets of the Old Testament, spoke out strongly against sin.
But You did not only present us a God willing to forgive us. You went one
step further and carried my sin to the altar of Calvary and became the very
“first and only” perfect sacrifice for our sins, providing forgiveness and
cleansing for every repentant sinner... even for me. I find it
easy to love You, Lord Jesus. And since You are the Perfect Image of Our
Heavenly Father, I also find it easy to love Him. Oh how I love
You! Amen.

Down from His Glory
Written by my pastor, Wm. Booth-Clibborn
Down from His glory, Ever-living story
My God and Savior came and Jesus was His name.
Born in a manger, to His own a stranger,
A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.
Oh! How I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my Sunshine, My All in All!
The great Creator became my Savior!
And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him!
What condescension, bringing us redemption
That in the dead of night, not one faint hope in sight;
God, gracious, tender, laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.
Oh! How I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my Sunshine, My All in All!
The great Creator became my Savior!
And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him!
Without reluctance, flesh and blood His substance
He took the form of man... Revealed the hidden plan.
Oh! Glorious mystery, sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know Thou art the Great “I am.”
Oh! How I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my Sunshine, My All in All!
The great Creator became my Savior!
And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him!
