”You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.“ 1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭5
”For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.“ James 3:16

We can do ALL things, through CHRIST, who Strengthens US(Phil 4:13)! We are imperfect, yet can be used mightily by God, if we believe this amazing truth, and see us through the eyes of Jesus.

Wandering in the Wilderness, in your Life?

Oh man, talk about a difficult perspective for us, Lord! I am certain, that we cannot do this in our own sinful self, yet you Lord say in you word, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me”! May you lift us up, that we may see through your eyes?

Father, when I have been hurt by someone, may I remember how I have hurt and disappointed you. May I remember the feeling of your forgiveness and do the same for others. Your undeserved favor, is life changing.

How can we not praise a God, who shows us such Grace and Mercy? We stand before him, as forgiven, through faith in Jesus!

7:18–20 In response to the gracious, forgiving character displayed toward Israel by their Master, the repentant remnant of the people extolled His incomparable grace and mercy (cf. Ps 130:3, 4). ‡ 7:18 Who is a God like You … ? Micah began this final section with a play on words involving his name. See Introduction: Title. † 7:20 swore to our forefathers. In spite of Israel’s unfaithfulness to God, the Lord intends to fulfill His unconditional promises in the Abrahamic Covenant made with Abraham and confirmed with Isaac and Jacob (cf. Ge 12, 15, 17, 22, 26, 28, 35). When enacted in conjunction with the Davidic Covenant, Israel will again be restored as a people and a nation to the land originally promised to Abraham. Jesus Christ, the ultimate descendant of David, will rule from Jerusalem over the world as King of kings and Lord of lords (cf. Rev 17:14; 19:16).

Praise God, that we have a God, who keeps his Promises, in spite of ourselves. He cares for us deeply, and desires relationship with us. He has provided that way to him through Jesus. I never get tired of remembering the high price that was paid by Jesus, that we might have this access. If you don’t know this Jesus, please ask, if you have questions. God Bless.
