He tells us: "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity."
"And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."
"Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea"
"Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity? . . . He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love."
Tremendous truths! Yet, the thing that stirs me the most about Micah is when he tells us that he looked all throughout Judah and couldn't find one faithful follower of God. Not in the leadership. Not among the people. Not even among his family and in-laws. What was his response? If I can't find one, then I must be the one. "I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation."
Savior, give me the courage if such a time comes to be the one.
