“The word of the Lord which came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
“’Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth and all it contains, And let the Lord God be a witness against you, The Lord from His holy temple. For behold, the Lord is coming forth from His place.
“’He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth. The mountains will melt under Him, and the valleys will be split, like wax before the fire, like water poured down a steep place.’” Micah 1:1-4
Reading Scripture reminds us of our Heavenly Father -- Who He is and how irrefutably powerful, wise, true and right He is -- has always been and always will be. However, the world tries to engage us and distract us from Him and His truth. It has been happening since a serpent in a faraway garden pointed out the benefits and attractiveness of some specific fruit.
Yet, God’s patience is amazing! Consider the nations over all this time and how often God has loved, nourished and guided individuals who prefer to go their own way. In the time of Micah, it was no different. The messages Micah shared seem meant for today as times grow darker for now.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene
