Sometimes a verse just jumps off the page. Had this happen to me this morning. Check this out from Micah 6.3-5:
“O my people, what have I done to you?
What have I done to make you tired of me?
Answer me!
For I brought you out of Egypt
and redeemed you from slavery.
I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
Don’t you remember, my people,
how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed
and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead?
And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
when I, the Lord, did everything I could
to teach you about my faithfulness.”
When I think about my own journey and I reflect on years of conversations with people about their frustrations with God, this verse spoke to me so deeply. We can be so quick to complain, and so slow to recognize how good God is.
For me, the faithfulness of God is not just demonstrated by what He did or didn't do "for me" last week, but by His steady hand over all of time. That I can put my trust in.
How about for you? How does this passage speak to you?
