Friday, September 6th: Song of Solomon 1:1-4:16, 2 Corinthians 8:16-24, Psalm 50:1-23, Proverbs 22:22-23 ~ Tammy

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Song of Solomon 1:1-4:16, 2 Corinthians 8:16-24, Psalm 50:1-23, Proverbs 22:22-23

Psalm 50:21-22
While you did all this, I remained silent,
    and you thought I didn’t care.
But now I will rebuke you,
    listing all my charges against you.
22 Repent, all of you who forget me,
    or I will tear you apart,
    and no one will help you.

God could justly strike all unbelievers down at any moment.  Indeed, every breathe we take is proof of His mercy and grace. 

And the mistake people make is to think that God's mercy and grace - His silence - means He doesn't care, and that He's not going to do anything about sin.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  He cares!  But He is merciful, and gracious, and patient, and giving people time to repent.  But the day will come when His patience will end and justice will be delivered.
