Text: Micah 2:8-13

2:8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy— You pull off the robe with the garment, From those who trust you, as they pass by, Like men returned from war.

2:9 The women of My people you cast out, From their pleasant houses; From their children. You have taken away My glory forever.

2:10 “Arise and depart, For this is not your rest; Because it is defiled, it shall destroy, Yes, with utter destruction.

2:11 If a man should walk in a false spirit. And speak a lie, saying, ‘I will ^[h]prophesy to you ^[i]of wine and drink,’ Even he would be the prattler of this people.

2:12 “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of ^[j]the fold, Like a flock in the midst of their pasture; They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.

2:13 The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate,
And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the Lord at their head.”

STUDY:

Micah revealed the deceitful prophets’ lies, exposing their inability to truly give rest. False prophets’ teachings are corrupted and bring absolute destruction rather than the peace, rest, and healing that God’s word provides. Though God’s people were promised judgment for their heavy wickedness, the goodness and mercy of God nevertheless, remained available to them when they truly repented (2 Chron. 7:14-16). God assured the remnant of Israelites that they would be restored.

Oppression will not last forever; God is just and will not grow tired in saving His people because He is a loving father. It is therefore essential to trust in His absolute power to save and restore. Prophets are on the rise and people would rather hear from the false prophets because they prophesy what they want to hear; they will therefore and ignore the prophets of God because the truth is always bitter (Matt. 24:11). No matter how corrupt the world may look in this regard, there will always be a remnant to be restored to the original plan of God. May God find you worthy of His divine restorations in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Prayer: 

Lord, restore me and I will be restored. Amen!
