Where's the Witness?


"'Recently My people have arisen as an enemy -- you strip the robe off the garment, from unsuspecting passers-by, from those returned from war.  The women of My people you evict, each one from her pleasant house, from her children you take My splendour forever.  Arise and go, for this is no place to rest because of the uncleanness that brings on destruction, a painful destruction.'"  Micah 2:8-10

The Israelites had become forgetful of their many blessings.  They forgot their values.  They forgot that their blessings and values were there to remind them of how different they were in the world.  Peaceable men, defenceless women and children were treated with disregard and disrespect.  Where was the witness of God in their lives!?

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
