Micah 6-Part 3

LET IT GLOW

Previously, we read where God wanted His people to remember His delivery from slavery in Egypt, that He sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help them. Also, instead of Balaam cursing Israel, God made sure he blessed them.

There was one more thing God wanted Israel to remember-their journey from Acacia Grove (Shittim) to Gilgal. Gilgal was the first place the Israelites camped after crossing over the Jordan River. Now, that crossing was miraculously enabled by God as He parted the Jordan and dried it up, just like the Red Sea.

However, they were disabled totally in the presence of their enemies. All the males had to be circumcised as a testimony of the fathers' belief of God's promises to Abraham. (God instructed Joshua to have this done.) So that disabled the warriors for a few days, and God protected them during their recovery time. (Joshua 4)

And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the LORD, did everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness. (verse 5b, NLT)

The King James version says it this way: that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.

The Hebrew word for righteousness is tsdaqah (tsed-aw-kaw') refers to rightness, justice, virtue, righteous act.

Do you know the righteousness of the LORD?

LET IT GROW

God continued to be kind to His forgetful people, but their short memory and lack of thankfulness condemned them. When people refuse to see how fortunate they are and begin to take God's gifts for granted, they become self-centered. (Life Application Study Bible)

What is so wonderful for us children of God is that we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is The Righteous One.(1 John 2:1)

Sin we have no righteousness because we are all sinners, we need One to cover us with His righteousness. It is the blood of Jesus and His holiness and sacrifice which provides the righteousness that we need. Jesus in the Perfect One without sin. He met the requirement for our sins as Jesus died on the cross.

Oh, what a Savior! Isn't He wonderful!

 

LET IT GO

Thank You Jesus for providing Your righteousness for us, for being our Advocate to the Father.

Glory to Your name!

Keep us humble servants before You.
