Another Chance Bible in a Year : Psalm 1:89–6; 1 Corinthians 8 Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! Micah 7: Micah 7:1–3, –20 At the Second Chance Bike Shop near our neighborhood, volunteers rebuild cast-off bicycles and them to needy . Shop founder Ernie Clark also donates bikes to needy adults, including the homeless, the disabled, and military veterans struggling to make it in civilian life. Not only do the bicycles get a second chance but sometimes the recipients get a new start too. One veteran used his new bike to get to a job interview. Second chances can transform a person’s life, especially when the second chance comes from God. The prophet Micah extoled such grace during a time the nation of Israel groveled in bribery, , and other despicable sins. As Micah lamented, “The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth” (Micah 7:2 ). God would rightly punish evil, Micah knew. But being loving, He would give those who repented another chance. Humbled such love, Micah asked, “Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people?” (v. ). We too can rejoice God doesn’t abandon us because of our sins if we ask for forgiveness. As Micah declared of God, “Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean!” (v. nlt). God’s love gives second chances to all who seek Him. Reflect & Pray What sin will you repent of and gain a second chance from our loving God? Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the grace of second chances.

I need His forgiveness every day, because I cannot live up to the standard set before me..... Jesus. That's why we need a Savior. I thank God that he gives second chances..... and third, and fourth , and fifth..... and so on. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
