He is always just. He loves us. He doesn’t want things He wants us. He is just, faithful, and humble. He is our salvation, he is light. He is victorious. He is full of awe. He forgives. He is compassionate. He gave us the spirit. We are His children. He calls us. He is just, merciful, and compassionate. He is the potter. He makes no mistakes. He loves us!
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? – Micah 6:8

Micah 6:7
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” Wow. Only God can do this. For the sin of MY soul.

16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
I love this imagery! In a single day I could be both the woman who runs and the woman who does God’s will. Praise the lord Gods mercy is greater than my actions and inactions.
I love the comparison he makes with the sand on the beach. While he knows the number of the sand he doesn’t name them. We humans don’t have numbers but we have names
In this single chapter Paul quotes Genesis x3, exodus x2, isaiah x4, Hosea x2 and Malachi x1. – That’s a lot of weight to make his point- that God had been working in and on his people from the beginning of time- calling and teaching us through his word. To point us to how He wants us to have a right relationship with him. – how to make it happen. I’m excited to know I’ve read almost all if those references already thanks to this program. I feel the weight of history in God’s Word working in my life today.
18 Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
20 You will be faithful to Jacob,
and show love to Abraham,
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors
in days long ago.
I’m catching up and I’m just floored by how great and awesome our Daddy God is
19 You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
Such a beautiful image! So freeing!
Sisters I find solace in you here at SRT! My family needs prayer for positivity through tough times and those are blessings. Thank you!
Romans 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ ” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
We were meant for so much more than we see – if we believe in Gods purpose, we can be molded into what he sees in us!
Having come back to SRT and attempting to get back into the community; I’m asking for prayer, sweet sisters. To keep it short and sweet, my family and I have not attended church in almost a year, and I am choosing the things of this world over my Lord and King. The war is real in my flesh. Reading Romans and Micah today was honey to my soul. I have faith that G-d knows exactly what is going on, and I believe He will not let me go. I just am finding it increasingly difficult to stay in the faith without fellowship with other believers.
Thank you in advance dear sisters in Christ! Much love to all of you.
Oh! Just by coming back you have made angels sing! Your foundation is the Rock! I pray you continue to be fed sweet honey from the Word to strengthen and support you.
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
Praying this verse over you Anne-Marie. It takes a lot to return to the Lord. I am thankful our God is merciful and praying that you will feel His mercy and desire for you to draw near.
praying for you Anne-Marie! thank you for your raw honesty. praying that this transition season back into community is drenched in grace and patience and more honey dipped gems from His word!
Praying for your family to unite against the enemy (John 8:44) and hold fast to the one and only true God. He is faithful and will keep you until that day. Keep on keeping on sister.
I love my bible’s notes on Micah 7:5-7 today. Micah is watching and waiting for the Lord, despite his shattered trust in humanity. By definition, ‘go wait’ literally means ‘to hope.’ In our society, waiting is ranked right up there with having a root canal. We are told, “get going. Get busy. Do something!” But according to the Bible,’waiting’ has definite merit.
Hope that’s a good reminder to you today that whatever God has you waiting for, it IS good!
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
–such a great charge to us!
ah! this verse caught my attention as well! I get so distracted by all the things I feel I must do to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord – and then verses like this sweep in and not only humble me but encourage me.
It’s interesting how both passages talk about God’s “remnant” (in ESV). I was also struck by that sentence in Micah, “he delights in steadfast love.” When I harbor anger, let me delight in steadfast love so much that I do not remain angry!
He is always just. He loves us. He doesn’t want things He wants us. He is just, faithful, and humble. He is our salvation, he is light. He is victorious. He is full of awe. He forgives. He is compassionate. He gave us the spirit. We are His children. He calls us. He is just, merciful, and compassionate. He is the potter. He makes no mistakes. He loves us!

8Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.

Micah 7:8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
One of my absolute favorite verses- act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
7But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me.

I like that too, Beth! Never noticed it.

Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly! Gosh I love that verse!
I loved the reading in Micah. I think it’s brilliantly written. The imagery is so rich and I could just read it over and over again.
agreed!!!

Agreed. Although we are nearsighted, there will be a day when it will all just ‘click’. Keep moving forward!
My prayers are with you.

Welcome back! I pray you find a way to get “community” to help you through this journey!
Oh! Just by coming back you have made angels sing! Your foundation is the Rock! I pray you continue to be fed sweet honey from the Word to strengthen and support you.
Praying, Anne-Marie!
We all need community in this journey of faith. I hope you are also able to find a wonderful church family as well. :-)
