TOPIC: Do Not Ignore God’s Redemptive Plans
READ: Micah 6:1-5 (KJV)
1 Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord’s controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord.
THE MESSAGE:
Micah’s prophecies focused on judgement and condemnation of sin, calling for repentance and hope for restoration and redemption. In today’s text, we can see God asking His people, Israel, a couple of deep and conscience-pricking questions (verse 3). He went further to call their minds to history and all the efforts He made in rescuing them from slavery in Egypt, fighting their various battles all through their journey to the Promised Land, feeding them in the wilderness, and even going all out for them (to the extent of punishing and dislodging other sinful nations for their sakes); as well as in demonstration of His mercies; and patiently searching for them while they kept deviating to disobedience, idolatry and injustice (verses 4-5). He never gave up on them!
Beloved, we are being asked such deep questions today. Can you recollect the efforts God has made in your life? Can you recollect how He rescued you from that accident, blackmail, conspiracy and all manner of dangerous situations, just so that you can truly realise His love for you, serve Him and not perish in your iniquity? It is never His intention that anyone should perish, but that all will come to repentance and live eternal life (2 Peter 3:9). Today, God is yet extending that grace of a second chance and long rope of patience so that all (including you) can turn from evil. Don’t ignore any further, this Divine passionate appeal to you for salvation and redemption of your soul. God has kept you alive again today, giving you another chance. Perhaps it may be your last day on earth. Please embrace Him right away!
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, I yield to Your call and knock at the door of my heart this day. Please show me mercy, save me and give me grace to live for You henceforth. Amen!
