Psalms 106:44 KJV
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
This is just about as hopeful of a verse as I think I can find in all of the Bible. There are about 38 verses that rehearse the sins, trespasses, iniquities, and transgressions of Israel. Verse after verse repeats the history of Israel's rebellion against the Living God.
They forgot God's works
They ignored His counsel
They envied God's leaders
They worshiped images instead of the Lord
They despised the land God gave them
They murmured and complained
They married pagan peoples
They sacrificed their children to devils
They shed innocent blood
Nevertheless He [God] regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry.
We should certainly ask God for the grace and wisdom to avoid their sins, but when we do sin, what a blessing to know that God will hear our cry and regard our affliction.
