MICAH 7

GOD’S STEADFAST LOVE AND COMPASSION 

Micah shares the point of view of a deeply troubled and distressed man. This man, possibly Micah himself, feels alone, comparing even the most righteous around him to thorns. Micah describes the loneliness and despair that comes from seeking God in a corrupt nation.

Micah, along with the remnant, looks for the Lord and waits for salvation while those around them continue to live in selfishness and misconduct. Although God will deal with the wickedness in Israel, He will be faithful to the remnant and pardon them.

God delights in steadfast love and shows compassion to those in relationship with Him. The remnant of Israel allows Him to be faithful to His promises to bless humanity through Abraham.
