Micah 7:7 “Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.”
What do we do when it seems that the whole world around us has fallen into the pit of depravity and corruption, and evil (bad) things just keep coming at us, wave after wave? It was just such a time in Micah’s day! He explained that “The good man is perished out of the earth”, they “do evil with both hands earnestly”, “The best of them is as a brier”, you could not “Trust” “in a friend”, “the son dishonoureth the father” [the family had ceased to be a family], and “a man’s enemies are the men of his own house” (Micah 7:2-7)! What do we do in such times!? Giving up and moaning and complaining is not fitting for a “born again” (John 3:1-8) Child of God. So, what do we do when its seems that we are surely helpless to deliver ourselves from the constant bombardment of evil and troubles? Micah declared “Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation”; that is, “I” may be part of a very small minority; but “I will” remain faithful to “the LORD” and depend upon Him; using New Testament language, “I will” spend my time “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). Furthermore, by His grace and mercy, let us faithfully “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11). The more time we spend “Looking unto Jesus”, the more confident we will become that our “God will hear” us and that “when” we “fall” we “shall arise; when” we “sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto” us (Micah 7:8). Thus, we are exhorted to “Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.” (Psalms 31:24)!
