"Who is a God like You"

Text: Micah 7:18

IN ADORATION OF THE LORD

Micah stood in awe and adoration of the LORD as he pondered over what God’s plan to bless His people. He would once again show them His wonders as in the days of Moses (Micah 7:15).

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.”
