Ärende: From Anger to Love
==========================
Faith's Checkbook

December 21 
From Anger to Love
"He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our
iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea"
(Micah 7:19).
God never turns from His love, but He soon turns from His wrath. His love to
His chosen is according to His nature; His anger is only according to His
office. He loves because He is love; He frowns because it is necessary for our
good. He will come back to the place in which His heart rests, namely, His love
to His own, and then He will take pity upon our griefs and end them. What a
choice promise is this--"He will subdue our iniquities"! He will conquer them.
They cry to enslave us, but the LORD will give us victory over them by His own
right hand. Like the Canaanites, they shall be beaten, put under the yoke, and
ultimately slain. As for the guilt of our sins, how gloriously is that removed!
"All their sins"--yes, the whole host of them; "thou wilt cast"--only an
almighty arm could perform such a wonder; "into the depths of the sea"--where
Pharaoh and his chariots went down. Not into the shallows out of which they
might be washed up by the tide, but into the "depths" shall our sins be hurled.
They are all gone. They sank into the bottom like a stone. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Light in God’s Light. Ps. 36. 9; Isa. 60. 19

1 In darkness born, I went astray,
And wandered from the gospel way;
And since the Saviour gave me sight, I cannot see without his light.

2 So poor, and blind, and lame I am, My all is bound up in the Lamb;
And blessŠd am I when I see
My spirit’s inmost poverty.

3 I cannot walk without his might,
I cannot see without his light;
I can have no access to God,
But through the merits of his blood.

4 It makes me feel my ruined state, It lays my soul at mercy’s gate;
And Jesus smiles at such a guest; 
And cheers him with a heavenly feast.
