Summary of Micah

LET IT GLOW

By the time you read this, we are visiting our 6 grandchildren and our daughter with husband. It is due to our first grandchild graduating high school. Although he has been homeschooled all his days, we are still celebrating. Besides, it has almost been a year since we saw them.

Micah's roots were about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem in the foothills of Judah. If you have a chronological Bible, it's found between Isaiah and 2 Chronicles 32, during the years of King Hezekiah, and a few years before Assyria captured Israel. 

Micah's 3 messages were presented like a courtroom trial. God was condemning His people of their sinful ways, turning to worship idols instead of Him, and mistreating the Jewish family. 

However, each message moves from doom to hope. Doom because they broke God's Law and hope because of God's unchanging covenant with their forefathers. (Their remnant did repent and worship God alone.) We see God's divine judgment and His promises kept.

How are we doing in those areas mentioned? 

LET IT GROW

It's it the little things that give us hope, joy, and peace?

Hope came as Jesus was born in Bethlehem, predicted in 5:2: 

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

One day, our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will return to earth to reign as King. His will be a kingdom of peace, power, and worship. Idolatry and witchcraft will be destroyed. What a time that will be! Love will reign. 

In His eternal kingdom, Jesus will reign as our King, also. No more wars, hate, murder, sin. Can we imagine? Are you prepared, friend? The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, not works, good deeds. It take faith in Jesus as Savior and to know Him personally. Has there ever been a time when you asked Jesus to be your Savior and forgive your sins? Don't put it off, for death can come quickly.

LET IT GO

Everyone needs forgiveness and hope.

Savior, He can move the mountains.

My God is mighty to save. 

Forever Author of salvation.

Jesus rose and conquered the grave.

Fill our hearts with Your love as we surrender to Your kingship, Jesus.

Shine Your light on us so the whole world sees You.

Glory to Your name, King Jesus!
