Friday, December 22nd: Micah 6-7; Revelation 13 ~ Conrad

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan: Micah 6-7; Revelation 13

"You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea."  Micah 7:19

Forgiveness is the miracle of a fresh start, a new beginning, a second chance.  Because of God's compassion, love, grace, and mercy for us, He offers a pardon for our sins and places them out of sight, out of mind, and out of existence.   

Approaching Christmas there is always the anticipation and excitement with giving and receiving gifts.  Well the gift of forgiveness is one that we should never take for granted nor loose excitement over!

Revelation 13:10
“If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”[d]

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.

This verse may be applicable today, are we willing to sacrifice for God? And are we willing to be patient and endure?
