The concluding chapter to the book of Micah begins with a song of lament spoken by the prophet but ends with the prophet expressing trust in God and foreseeing a time when Jerusalem will be rebuilt. God is praised for being merciful and forgiving.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Micah 7:1-20
Today’s Key Verse: Micah 7:7
I will watch for the LORD. I will wait confidently for God, who will save me. My God will hear me.
Reflect
Why does Micah feel hopeless (verses 1-6)? What causes him to express confidence in God (verses 7-13)? What feelings expressed by Micah resonate with you? Reread verses 18-20. Do you find these verses to be a hopeful conclusion to the book of Micah? What promises are given?
Pray
Almighty God, when I see the forces of evil at work, I, too, feel hopeless. Remind me, O God, that You are in control. O Lord God, there is no other god like You. You are faithful, merciful, and forgiving, and You show constant love to Your people. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in deep despair
Tomorrow’s Reading
