Micah 7, 2 Timothy 4

Micah 7

Verse 7 reminds us to wait on God. “But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.”

Not only is it an encouragement to be patient and remain dependent, but also a reminder that God is faithful. Those simple words… “my God will hear me.” Wow, so powerful. What a confidence and trust that in the darkest moments, in the quietness, in the loudest storms, in the moments of dire confusion or even frustration, we can wait on our Lord, KNOWING that he hears the prayers and heart of His children.

If this is the promise in tough times, how amazing are the days of provision?

God, thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you that even when our words are few, and many times senseless, your Spirit intercedes for us and shares our heart with you. Thank you for your unconditional love and promise.


2 Timothy 4

Verse 2 says, “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.”

So many times we let our agenda push the method in which we share God’s truth. We so quickly have a judgmental spirit, whether we admit it or not. It’s easy to get frustrated with others who don’t seem to get it or don’t get us. But when you think about it, why would we expect new believers, unseasoned or uninformed believers, or even non-Christians to understand things that are Spiritual Discerned? So what’s our agenda? Is it ours, or God’s that we are pushing? If we were responding in the spirit to God’s leading, we would be responding with patience and care. It’s when we get in the way that we are hurried, frustrated, confused, and inauthentic.

God, may we always speak your words in love and with action that is reflected in our lives. May we be patient and careful as you have been patient with us so many times.
