Isaiah 55:7, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
---- Matthew Henry writes, "God will have mercy. He will not deal with us as our sins have deserved, but will have compassion on us. Misery is the object of mercy." Thank God that our misery is the object of His mercy.
Matthew Henry continues, "He will abundantly pardon. He will multiply to pardon (so the word is), as we have multiplied to offend. Though our sins have been very great and very many, and though we have often backslidden and are still prone to offend, yet God will repeat his pardon, and welcome even backsliding children that return to him in sincerity."
WOW!!! What a merciful God we serve.
