Micah 7:6a For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
Let’s face it–family relationships, in-law relationships, human relationships can be tricky sometimes. Sometimes *I* am the problem. Sometimes it’s other people. Thankfully, I’ve never been in a situation where it got as bad as “rising up” as in today’s verses, but human relationships can be hard. Period. Again, I think part of that is just human nature.
Micah 7:6b …a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
Micah 7:7 is balm for my soul. In the turmoil of human relationships, “I will watch in hope for the Lord, I will wait for God my Savior; my God *will* hear me” (emphasis mine). No matter the situation. No matter the issue. No matter the cause (even if *I’m* the cause), my God will hear, He will answer, He will respond. He won’t always save me from the mess I’ve made, from the consequences of my actions, but He will always be *with* me.
Micah 7:7a But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior;
Precious Savior, Thank You that You are the One I can trust. Always. Thank You that You understand my heart, even when my thoughts and words are a jumbled mess. Thank You that You never leave me, never forsake me. Never. Thank You that You hear me. Always. Amen.
Micah 7:7b …my God will hear me.
Have a blessed day.
