… When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. I shall bear the indignation of the Lord because I've sinned against Him. Our sin deserves the indignation of the Lord. I shall bear the indignation of the Lord because I've sinned against Him until He pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I shall look upon His vindication. I have been there again and again and again and again. It is right for us to feel the weight of our sin against God. It deserves the righteous indignation of Him. And yet, it's only until we bear the indignation of the Lord, until the judge becomes our attorney and pleads our cause and executes justice. He doesn't overlook it, but he executes justice for us and not against us. He has brought me in the light, and I want to bring as many of you as possible. with me. I'm also passionate about purity because I've known and discipled dozens of men now over decades who have struggled with sexual sin. Some of these men, my wife and I, count as sons in our family. We love these men. And that's a third reason. We have actual sons, two of them and a daughter of our own, who we want to prepare well for sexual temptation, to pursue purity as a means of joy, and joy is a means of purity. I'm here because sexual sin ruins lives and souls. …
… So look at verse 9. I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against him. So I think this is a godly confession. It's a good thing that he said that. It's inspired by God. It's the way we ought to talk. I think this is the way a justified New Testament sinner talks. the blood of Jesus you know covers all the sins of all the saints in the New Testament and the Old Testament that's the point of Romans 3 25 Christ died to show God's righteousness in passing over the sins of Micah and his people. And he died to cover our sins. So I take the testimony here in Micah 7, 7-9 as a testimony of a godly person. His sins are covered by the blood of Jesus 700 years before Jesus died. I take this testimony in Micah 7, 7 to 9 as a testimony of a person who can say there is now no condemnation to those who trust God in the Old Testament. …
"I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me, He will bring me forth to the light and I shall behold His righteousness." Micah 7:9. Those who expect to find the road to Heaven smooth and unobstructed will discover little in the experience of the ancient saints to support the expectation. The Lord's people have, in all ages, been tried people. Cowper well says— "Thepath of sorrow, and that path alone, Leads to the land where sorrow is unknown." Though, perhaps, to the youthful mind this may sound rather harsh, yet there is a large amount of comfort in it to the more advanced saint, for he says to himself, "Then my difficulties, my distresses, my tribulations, are no new thing. I am in the footsteps of the flock. I can see that I am travelling in the good old way that leads to God— 'The way the holy Prophets went, The road that leads from banishment.' Did I meet with no chastisement, I might fear that I was not a child of God, but inasmuch as I am made to smart under the rod, I may hopefully infer from it, if I feel the Spirit of Adoption within, that my Father has not forgotten me." All sorts of trials have beset the saints of God. Rough winds have blown upon them from all points of the compass and they have had bad weather in all seasons of the year. They have been plagued from within and assailed from without. The arrows of temptation have come upwards from the Pit and often the blows of the rod have came downward from the Throne. There is no form of sorrow, I suppose, which has not been experienced by the chosen of the Lord, though, blessed be His name, the Lord has delivered them out of it all! …
