We need our great king, to make a judicial pronouncement – that our sins have been dealt with at the cross, and that our souls have been dressed with his righteousness.
Even when we are faithless, God is faithful.
Don’t be enticed by Egypt. Don’t settle for Sodom. But let life’s various tests and temptations deepen your resolve to trust God. He’s at work to refine your faith, and to strengthen you for good in the years ahead.
