LOOK:

If we don’t confess our sin, we become slaves to our guilt. But there’s no need to do that. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, ready to forgive our sin. In His righteousness, He may deal with us severely even after He has forgiven us. But we can trust that He always has our ultimate good in mind.

LOOK:

Nothing restrains the Lord. We often believe that God is restrained one way or another. The truth is that our unbelief restrains God. Matthew 13:58 says, “Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” God’s power is never restrained, but God’s will may be restrained because of our unbelief. He may choose not to act until we partner with Him in trust. God had a trusting partner in Jonathan!

LOOK:

God makes two wonderful promises to His people in this chapter. In 1:7, He assures them of His goodness and tells them they will be safe so long as they trust in Him. In 1:12, He assures them that He will not afflict them again with the Assyrian armies the way Israel had been afflicted before. No matter what the difficulties may be, we can trust God to care for us and see us through.

LOOK:

How can we have such faith and offer such forgiveness? We must live in humility, knowing our place in the stream of life. God is master and we are slaves. We should not look upon a life of ongoing forgiveness as a great accomplishment. We should see it as the normal act of the life of faith. Forgiveness is what Jesus expects of us.
