Summary of Micah 

LET IT GLOW

We had a wonderful weekend, attending our oldest grandson become an Eagle Scout and graduate from high school. It had been a year since we had seen our daughter and her family. So our whole family was together. (Including her in laws, also.) Although we did experience cancelled flights, but finally arrived. And so we will do this again next year, since our second oldest grandson will graduate. It is exciting to hear about their future plans. We are so proud of the kind of young men they have become, with integrity, loving and caring, and faithful Christians. They are a reflection of their parents. We pray they will surrender to special callings in the Kingdom of God work.

As we look back over what Micah wrote in prediction from his God, we know some became true, with the birth of Messiah Jesus in Bethlehem. (5:2)

Then Micah predicted the second coming of the Messiah to establish His Millennial Kingdom. He will meet the needs of His people, feeding them, giving them peace and security. (5:4-5) During that time, Jesus will do away with strongholds, witchcraft, and graven images. God will be worshiped by all, finally. (5:11-13)

Are we ready for this? Have you acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, the only way to God and eternal heaven when death comes? 

Jesus proclaimed that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)

LET IT GROW

In 6:8, we found out what God requires of us, what would please Him:

• do justly, outwardly in our dealings with others, we are to be fair and right in our deeds and render what is due,;
• love mercy, meeting the needs of people in kind ways;
• walk humbly with our God, in the heart, so sin is taken away, and outwardly showing it by doing good in a cheerful manner. Our thoughts and conversations should be evidence that we are submitting to God and His will, swerving Him, even when costly. 

It is always good to have self-examination. Do we need to change any of our ways? 

LET IT GO

Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me, Jesus.

I never have to be afraid.

Change our hearts so we are like You.
