What Does Micah 7:9 Mean?
The voice of faith is also the voice of humility. 'I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him.' There is no excuse-making, only honest acceptance of God's just discipline, held together with confident hope that God will plead his cause and bring him out to the light.
This is the remarkable union of repentance and trust: owning one's sin while resting in God's mercy. The same God who disciplines will defend; the One who brings into darkness will bring out to the light. To behold His righteousness is to see, at last, His saving faithfulness vindicate the one who waited on Him through the night.
