”House of Jacob, should it be asked, “Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient? Are these the things he does?” Don’t my words bring good to the one who walks uprightly?
Get up and leave, for this is not your place of rest because defilement brings destruction — a grievous destruction!“
Micah 2:7, 10 CSB
In this chapter Micah is pouring judgment onto people who oppress His people. As they are hearing of the punishment God brings, they are accusing God of not giving them enough time to change. It’s like they say, “I was going to do that tomorrow, just chill”…but Gods response is “my judgments are to bring blessing on the good…but that is not who you are…you are just doing whatever you want and you bring destruction on yourself”.
God help me to see when I am blind to my own actions. Give me wisdom to understand when I am rejecting you. Allow me to recognize when I pursue my own desires and pretend that “I will change that tomorrow”.
Help me to be changed by Your Spirit, because I can’t do it on my own!
