Our scripture today is Micah 7:7 (MEV).
But as for me, I watch for the Lord; I await the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
As with most other prophets, Micah ends with a note of hope, that those who put their trust in God know He will hear them. He speaks for himself personally, as we must all choose God’s way for ourselves. He also speaks looking to the future of his people, echoing Joshua 24:15 “Yet as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Our hope must be contagious, telling everyone about God’s saving power.
Gracious God, we are sorry for our disobedient waste of Your good gifts. Forgive us we pray, and send us to share Your love everywhere. Amen.
