Micah 7:11 The day for building your walls will come, the day for extending your boundaries.
Today’s verses feel rather barren, rather desolate. Personally, I try to live the Psalm 71:14 theory of life: “As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” Focusing on the negative often puts me in a negative headspace, and that’s not good for anybody.
Micah 7:12a In that day people will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
Looking back over my reflections for the first 10 verses of Micah, God has revealed truth upon truth, reminded me of who He is, of how He loves others (all others), reminded me that He calls me to love and that He will take care of the rest, reminded me that life and family can both be complicated but that I am to put Him first and just love everybody. There are so many positive lessons here.
Micah 7:12b …even from Egypt to the Euphrates and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
Precious Savior, Help me to cling to hope, to praise You more and more. Thank You for the truths that You have revealed to me thus far in Micah. I cannot wait to finish exploring this text (again!) with You. Thank You. Amen.
Micah 7:13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the result of their deeds.
Have a blessed day.
