The Indignation of the Lord

"I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out into the light; I shall look upon his vindication. (Micah 7:9)

Most of us are unwilling to either recognize that sin exists in our lives or accepting the consequences. In this self-sufficient generation, we often display little need for God's presence or redemption. To make matters even worse, redemption from that sin and recovery are not even possible until we come to accept that our disobedience is sin that tears at the very dignity of our Creator...that it has dethroned him in our lives.

It is only when we confess that Jesus acts to restore, as the prophet Micah indicated, pleads for us and brings us out from that place of despair and into the light. Where have you dethroned God? Are you ready to receive his vindication?

"If we say that we are without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sin, God is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness". (1John1:9)
