He will tread our iniquities underfoot.
Micah 7:19
If hurling your iniquities into the depths of the sea refers to God’s deliverance from past sins, then treading your sins underfoot must refer to temptations that still lie ahead of you.
Here you are going out into another week, and Satan has already set some snares in your path. Every one of us will face specific temptations this week. And you will be tested at the point where you’re most vulnerable. Here’s the good news: God is walking with you.
As you encounter snares, traps, and temptations on your path this week, the Lord will tread your sins underfoot. Past sins will not master you and future temptations will not overwhelm you. Why not? Because God will walk with you.
One reason people commonly give for not wanting to commit to Jesus Christ is simply this: “I couldn’t keep it up. My past sins would catch up with me, and my future temptations would overwhelm me.”
Listen, God has already thought about all that. He has made provisions for you. In Christ, God’s anger is ended, your past has been dealt with, and your future is secure.
Are you afraid that you can’t keep up the Christian life? Let today be the day that you commit to following Jesus, trusting in the provisions that He has made for you.
