Hearing God In Micah 3 (Aug 28)

God Will Have Compassion On Us

Micah describes God’s people
on trial as the charges are leveled
against Israel: halfhearted worship,
persistent rebellion, hypocrisy, greed
idolatry. Verdict: Guilty as charged.
The sentence: exile in Babylon.
Yet the message of Micah is not
complete until he preaches richness
of God’s forgiveness and grace.
He retains not his anger forever
because he delights in mercy(7:18)

Lord will Bring Us Out of Darkness:
Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord
Will Be My Light. Because I have
sinned against him, I will bear
the Lord’s wrath, until He pleads
my case and upholds my cause.
He will bring me out Into the Light;
I’ll see His righteousness (Mic7:8-9)
Where is another God like You…
You will not stay angry with
your people forever, because
U delight in showing unfailing love.
Once again U will have compassion
on us. U will trample our sins under
your feet and Throw Them into the
depths of the Ocean (v18-19) Amen

Lord, thank you that even if I were
to fall off the path You have for me,
You will Lift Me Up when I repent.
Thank You that even if I sink into
darkness, You will be my Light.
Thank You that You not only
forgive but You will also Restore.
I praise You as the Light of my life
and keeper of the flame that burns
in my heart for eternity. Amen.

Lord, when we sin severely, we
may have to expect discipline.
And we need to be Patient
for You God promises that You
will be our light in the darkness.
Though it may take some time,
You God has not given up on us.
In fact You promise that we
will see Your righteousness.
Gracious Lord bring me out of
the darkness and into Your light.
Show me Your righteousness and
give me victory, nothing less. Amen.

Lord, Your Word says You will throw our sins into the depths of the ocean.
How gracious of You for that means
You utterly hides them from sight.
What a relief!! Though men may
bring up my past sins over and
over again to torment us, I need
not worry that someday You might bring up my sins in heaven. For You
have promised to cast them into
the ocean never to be seen again.
We purpose not to take sin lightly.
And we adore You Lord Jesus
for it costs your blood & life. Amen
