Micah 5
(v.2) This is one of the verses cited during Christmas, for we see that God predicted He would become man in the little town of Bethlehem. I make sure to show my kids that this is around eight hundred years before Jesus was born, and He is described as being from everlasting...God!
It is good to show our kids John 1:1 and Col 1:17 here as well, since it validates the deity of Jesus, that He was not created, but God who designed everything!
(v.5) Jesus is Peace! He is our Prince of Peace, our LORD of Lords, and our King of Kings!
(v.6) The Assyrian is another name for the Antichrist...God is showing us what will happen in the last days to the one who tries to emulate Christ.
(v.15) We need to keep praying that America is not one of the nations included in God's judgement. We are in many ways deserving of destruction by God, but I believe the many born again Christians, and our love of Israel keeps us from being totally destroyed. Our nation's salvation depends on us!
Micah 6
(v.8) What does God want us to do in this life?
~ Do Justly
~ Love mercy
~ Walk humbly with God
If we seek to accomplish those things every day, we will be walking with Him and living for Him!
Micah 7
(v.3) Sound familiar? This is the world we live in today, where greed and power has corrupted our leaders and societies. We have abandoned the Word of God in our schools and communities, and our culture has slipped to debauchery. Read 2 Chon 7:14 to your children, and pledge to them that you, as their parent, will lead the way of righteousness for your house! If we all start with our homes and families, then the communities will repent and be blessed.
