They will be embarrassed by their feeble power.In fact, they will stand amazed, according to NLT
Give thanks unto the Lord for He is good His mercy endureth forever. God provided for us so many times in our younger years in the ministry-money for milk for our preschoolers, places to live, jobs to provide as hubby pastored small churches, cars that kept going, and protection from evil. When times get hard, harsh, and hard to bear, remember the things God has done for you previously. He could do marvelous things for His beloved, again. That same God could do it again as they went into captivity. Then, as Micah remembered how God rescued His people from Egypt. In praying, Micah heard God say that He would do mighty miracles for him. Micah waited patiently as he confessed his sins. He looked to the Lord for help and waited confidently, was certain that his God heard him. What does it take to maintain hope in harsh times? Micah shows us that it is through watching, waiting, praying, and remembering. Shine Your light on us so the whole world sees You. Has there ever been a time when you asked Jesus to be your Savior and forgive your sins? Don't put it off, for death can come quickly.įill our hearts with Your love as we surrender to Your kingship, Jesus. It take faith in Jesus as Savior and to know Him personally. Can we imagine? Are you prepared, friend? The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, not works, good deeds. In His eternal kingdom, Jesus will reign as our King, also. What a time that will be! Love will reign. Idolatry and witchcraft will be destroyed. His will be a kingdom of peace, power, and worship. One day, our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will return to earth to reign as King. Hope came as Jesus was born in Bethlehem, predicted in 5:2:īut thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. It's it the little things that give us hope, joy, and peace? How are we doing in those areas mentioned? (Their remnant did repent and worship God alone.) We see God's divine judgment and His promises kept.
Doom because they broke God's Law and hope because of God's unchanging covenant with their forefathers. However, each message moves from doom to hope. God was condemning His people of their sinful ways, turning to worship idols instead of Him, and mistreating the Jewish family. Micah's 3 messages were presented like a courtroom trial. If you have a chronological Bible, it's found between Isaiah and 2 Chronicles 32, during the years of King Hezekiah, and a few years before Assyria captured Israel. Micah's roots were about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem in the foothills of Judah. Besides, it has almost been a year since we saw them. Although he has been homeschooled all his days, we are still celebrating. It is due to our first grandchild graduating high school. By the time you read this, we are visiting our 6 grandchildren and our daughter with husband.
