In His Service

The Light of God Breaking Through Part 1 Micah 7:7-10 Micah sees the breaking of light through the darkness of the clouds of doom swelling and embroiling the nation. For his hope is in God who is just and righteous, and who is faithful to His promises and covenants. As the psalmist had said, “For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalms 30:5 NLT) So too, we have seen the darkness of sinfulness ever encompassing this world, but there is a piercing of God’s brilliant light through the darkness that has enveloped our world. The prismatic rays of the Light of His Word are kaleidoscoping through the daunting darkness that has covered mankind. So let’s read the first portion of the text. “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my ...

  La Luz de Dios Abriéndose Paso - Parte 1 Miqueas 7:7-10 Miqueas ve la luz irrumpir a través de la oscuridad de las nubes de fatalidad que se hinchan y enredan a la nación.

Entonces leamos la primera parte del texto. “Pero en cuanto a mí, miro con esperanza al Caballero, espero en Dios mi Salvador; mi Dios me escuchará. ¡No te regodees conmigo, enemigo mío!

  The Misery of God’s Judgment Micah 7:1-7 Sin has a way that seems pleasurable, right, and gives you the warm fuzzies, but what follows leads to sorrow, misery and shame, and the lawlessness at sin’s root. Micah had heard the verdict and the judgment that would come upon his country because of the depravity of sin. He reflected now on how bad it had become to live in a depraved world. So let’s read the first portion of the text. “ What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave. The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets.
