God Will Answer

Micah 7:7

 

7Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

 

God made the prophet Micah aware of His displeasure over Israel's sins. And Micah himself showed sorrow over Israel's sins. The NKJ Study Bible notes that sin had so consumed even God's people that they preyed on their own neighbors and even those in the closest of relationships could not be trusted. The only one to be trusted is God. Does any of this sound familiar? Jesus said in Matthew 24 that the same would be true and demonstrated as signs of the time of the end of the age. Friends betraying friends, spouses not able to trust each other and family members seeking to do harm to other family members and even those who claim to be God's people as noted in Micah 7:5-6. Matthew 24:10-12 also references false prophets. Jesus said it would get so bad that "the love of many will grow cold." Is this not true at this moment in time? Micah gave the same resolution as Jesus, trusting and looking to the God of your salvation is the answer to your dilemma. Even Job had the displeasure of finding that out though his situation was not even as a result of sin in his life. He attempted to look to his wife but she was so bitter and angry with God over their circumstances that her advice was not prudent. Job's friends whom he had always been there for were supposed to comfort him in his time of need. However, they picked Job's misfortune as an opportunistic time to reveal what they thought of Job and presumed to know the reason for his circumstances. Yet, Job continued to petition his request for answers to God. And God did answer. And so no matter what dilemma you are facing, God will answer in His perfect timing. Your friends do not have answers nor your family. Only God can give direction and only He can orchestrate the atmosphere where the answer is revealed and obeyed. When it occurs, no one can get the glory but God.

P.S. Have a wonderful and joyous 4th of July Celebration to those here in the United States!
