The One: Adventনমুনা

Optimism chooses to see how circumstances could work out for the best. Biblical hope, however, is not based on circumstances. In fact, hopeful people in the Bible often face difficult times with no evidence that things will get better, but they choose hope anyway. For example, Israel’s prophet Micah lived in the midst of injustice and evil but looked to God for hope.

Read:

Micah 7:6-8

Reflect:

Notice some of the troubles Micah lists in verse 6 and how he responds in verse 7 and 8. What are some of the troubles around you right now? How does Micah’s response encourage or challenge you today?

Take a moment to echo Micah’s prayer to God. He hears you.
