Last Night & Looking Ahead

Thank you Jesus for last night! What an honor it was to be able to teach God's Word to His precious people! We finished the book of Micah. What a great message to finish off this book. What a great message to finish with on Wednesday nights. It was truly a gospel message. I would encourage you to listen to this message here. It will take a few a day or two to get on the website, but look for Micha 6-7. I do not say this because I taught the message. I say this because of what the message was.

LOOKING AHEAD

There was a verse that we briefly looked at last night that really challenged me. In fact, when I spent time in the Word and in prayer this morning, it was really in the back of my mind. So here is the verse:

"Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me."

Micah 7:7

Here, Micah boldly declares his trust in his God! He lived in a time when no one could be trusted, the faithful man had perished from the earth (Micah 7:2), and you could not even trust your own wife (Micah 7:5). The wickedness and the moral decay that had taken place with God's people was unfathomable. And yet, Micah declared, "I will look to the LORD..."

As I think about this personally, with the situation that we are currently in, I so desire to join in with Micah and say, "Lord, I look to You! I trust in You! I will wait for You! You will hear my prayers!" I believe that the Lord is looking for people who will fully trust Him. In fact, it says in 2 Chronicles 16:9,

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." 

As you and I look ahead into our lives, we need to remember something. There is a really BIG GOD who is completely in control of all things. Do you really trust Him? Are you looking to Him?
