Micah 5:1-7:20, Revelation 7:1-17, Psalm 135:1-21, Proverbs 30:5-6
Pray: Micah prompts us to “look to the Lord for help…wait confidently for God to save” (7:7). Micah then reminds us of the promise that the Lord hears our prayers. Bring your petitions to the Lord today. Consider if the Lord answers each petition, then what difference would it make in the world today and how would it matter eternally.
Read: Entertain the question in Micah 6:6 “What can I (we) bring the Lord (the God Most High)?”
Edify: The entire reading today reinforces that the Lord will preserve and protect His own people. There will be a remnant restored no matter how bad it gets. Remember how God brought His people out of slavery in Egypt and then out of exile from Babylon. God preserves and provides for His people. Knowing God’s faithfulness, you can confidently live differently than the rest of the world. What does that look like? Instead of pursuing your own fame, wealth, and success at the expense of others; you can do what is right, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). With the vision of Revelation of singing about the strong one who sits on the throne and brings salvation, we can live differently on this earth.
Practice: What is your next humble step as you walk out this life of faith with God? What is the next best thing God has called you to do or say in your workplace, home, or ministry? Write it down and prepare to act on it.
