Losing Sleep

Calvin Kochi

Scripture
Micah 7:18 Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
 of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
 but delight to show mercy.
Observation
This verse hit me by the question it asks. Who is like you God that is able to pardon and forgives our sins, doesn’t stay angry forever, and shows mercy? It is so easy to do just the opposite and to stay angry hold on to the offense and hurt not forgive, and show no mercy.
Application
This is a big area of my live that I am continually working on letting go of anger and to show mercy. I realized that I have lost a lot of sleep and wasted a lot of time and energy, because I can tend to hold on to things. The challenge is that the Lord wants me to be more like him. Who is God like you? The answer that I believe that the Lord is looking for the ones who say Yes Lord I want to be more like you. it is about letting go of my rights which will make it easier to be merciful, forgive and not stay angry.
Prayer
Lord that you for reconfirming that letting go of anger,showing mercy and forgiveness is so important. It keeps me front losing sleep and wastingprecious time.
