Micah 7:7 But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me

We live in a society driven by materialism, people live beyond their means—feeding their wants rather than meeting needs and placing personal gain above service to others.

Greed leads to corruption and oppresses the poor. This also describes Micah’s world twenty-seven centuries ago.

No matter how bad things get, Micah’s example of seeking God’s help and deliverance is practical and wise.

The Lord will hear and answer. Evil will be judged, with the goal of bringing repentance. Then God will heal and restore.

Micah not only watches for God, he does so with hope and trust. Hope waits willingly and with confidence. Micah had hope because of his personal relationship with the Lord.

Although modern times may seem like a mixed-up mess with no solution in sight, we can call on God to intervene.

The God of our salvation delights to show mercy and will bring victory in His time and His way. We can be sure of that my friend.

Prayer Suggestion: Lord, help me seek your solutions to problems, rather than trusting the wisdom of the world.
