It's Going to All Work Out!

O. T. #2187 "It's Going to All Work Out!"

Micah 4-Part 2

LET IT GLOW

I am speaking to the Mamma now. Do you remember the excruciating pains you had before that beautiful baby of yours was born? Who can forget, huh? They were so strong and hurt so badly that you could not breath or speak.

Well, Micah is referring to those kind of pains, which are like no other, right?  He is referring to the Jews in Jerusalem being led off to Babylon in captivity, crying their eyes out because they had no king to rescue them. Nebuchadnezzar went 3 times into the city, and on the third time he destroyed the Temple area, left the city leveled, and burned it. (I can't imagine that happening in my city, can you?)

However, the suffering and travail of God's people will end in joy. The end of verse 10 says, there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

History tells usthe exile of the Jews only lasted 70 years, and that God did deliver them by the hand of King Cyrus. (Isaiah 44:28; 2 Chronicles 36:22-23) What joy there must have been in the hearts of the remnants who went back to rebuild Jerusalem!

Has God rebuilt something in your life that was in ruins? His wonders never cease! Grace and mercy. Or are you standing in ruins now? Look up, for your Redeemer liveth!

 

LET IT GROW

God still forgives sin. Scriptures remind us that:

• God removes our sins as far as the East is from the West. (Ps. 103:12)
• God completely cleanses us from the stain of our sins. (Is. 1:18)
• God throws our sins behind His back. (Is. 38:17)
• God remembers our sins no more. (Jer. 31:34)
• God treads our sins underfoot. (Micah 7:19)
• God casts our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19)

The good news went from good to better and best. Such love the Father has for us. If we only admit our sins and mistakes, He can heal us and set our feet on the Solid Rock, Jesus. He will help you rebuild your life, or someone else's life that we know is there.

LET IT GO

Release it to God!

He is still Sovereign God!

He can do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we can think or ask!

Trust Him, it is going to all work out, according to His plan, for our good, and for His glory.

When He does, praise Him everyday!
