Glorious Truths

As I came to the end of Micah this morning, I was overwhelmed by the glorious truths that end this prophetic book. These reminders of God's covenant love and faithfulness were the perfect balm for my sinful soul. They were the means I used to preach the gospel to myself this day. May they be of comfort to you as well:
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old. --Micah 7:18-20
