Micah 6 - Praying God's Word

Please read Micah 6.

Meditate on verses 3 and 5.  The LORD is speaking.

“My people, what have I done to you, and

 how have I wearied you?  Answer Me.

My people, remember now what Balak

 king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor

 answered him, and from Shittim to Gilgal,

so that you might know the righteous acts of the LORD.”

The LORD wants His people to remember what He has done for them, so when they are tempted to whine and complain against Him, they will instead remember—remember how He  rescued—remember  how He saved—remember how He provided. Then when they remember and desire to give the LORD something to thank Him for all He has done, He wants, not thousands of sacrifices, but a kind and humble soul that wholeheartedly walks with Him (vs. 6-8).

What a beautiful chapter to take personally! Always remember what God has done for you; recall His faithfulness with your thoughts, words, and actions. Remembering God’s provision keeps you from discontentment and makes you a thankful person.

As you thank the LORD, give Him all of you by praying Micah 6:8 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You have told _______ and me what is good

 and what You require of us.  Help us to do justice, to love

 kindness, and to walk humbly with You, our God.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
