This week we review Micah 6 for some much needed encouragement. God was charging His people with a crime, the most severe, hundreds of years of idolatry-placing other gods before Him. It was a solemn time with lots of loss, death and destruction. But even in God’s rebuke and chastisement, He asked them to remember how He has always been merciful, sovereign, and relentless in protecting His promises to them. He asked them to remember how a king called upon an evil prophet to declare the Israelites cursed. But how the prophet could only declare they were blessed indeed!
The same holds true today regardless of the plots and schemes made by man, God has declared you blessed indeed. God may be charging you for your continual disobedience and disregard to love Him with your whole heart. He may be turning up the pressure in your life to turn you back towards the cross, where He sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. Don’t be discouraged. Your relationship with God promises that you are now the seed of Abraham and the prophet Balaam’s proclamation also applies to you- You are blessed indeed!
