Micah 7:1-20
All men lie in wait to shed blood; they all conspire together in Israel.
A man's enemies are the members of his own household.
Faithfulness, honesty, trust: all are gone. All human relationships are crumbling. Friendship and family count for nothing.
But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.
Israel 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 establishes my right. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.
Why?
Righteous men wait for God, but the evil on wait to shed blood.
The human scene is black, but hope remains because Micah knows his God.
With God there is yet light. He may still be relied on.
His promise will not fail. He will build again. He will deliver again. In his compassionate live he will forgive again.
So Micah will watch and wait for shepherd his people, doing miracle for them as of old, showing compassion.
Watchmen : The prophets were posted as watchmen to warn of coming judgment.
O Lord! No one like you, for your mercy, your love and your righteousness.
How?
I wait for the Lord , my Savior. He will transform my heart, he is my Lord, I am a sinner.
