Micah 1:1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Lord, At this point in my life, in my motherhood and teaching journeys, I understand on an entirely different level the love, compassion, patience, and mercy inherent in these repeated warnings to try to get Your people to repent and return to You. Thank You for loving us so deeply despite our many, many flaws.
Micah 1:2 Hear, you peoples, all of you, listen, earth and all who live in it, that the Sovereign Lord may bear witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Lord, We are flawed and broken. Nothing on this side of the veil will ever be perfect. Thank You for the glimpses that show they are listening, that they do hear, that it is making a difference. Know that that is true for me as well.
Micah 1:3 Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.
Lord, Thank You that You don’t tire, that You don’t give up on us. Help us to lay our burdens at Your feet and clothe ourselves in Your strength as we continue to show love, compassion, patience, and mercy to all those You place in our paths. Amen.
Micah 1:4 The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
Have a blessed day.
