" For He shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron."
Psalm 107:16
The doors and bars described here are the very ones the Lord allowed to imprison his people because of their rebellion. The severity of God's wrath upon their sin must not go unnoticed. He still chastens those that He loves. God cannot and will not permit us to remain in our sinful condition.
Thankfully, upon godly repentance, the severity of God's judgment is not greater than His grace. The Lord sets the captive free. He opens the prison door, for we are helpless to do so.
God, in His mercy, shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars. He has abolished the penalty and power of sin. Take heart in God's mercy. Continue to pray that the Lord will set free those who are in sin.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
