”Therefore, it will be night for you — without visions; it will grow dark for you — without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them. Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners disappointed. They will all cover their mouths because there will be no answer from God.
As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the Lord, with justice and courage, to proclaim to Jacob his rebellion and to Israel his sin.“
Micah 3:6-8 CSB
Gods people are accustomed to hearing from Him, it helps them remember truth, stay headed in the right direction and just know that He is there to protect them. But they have ignored Him so long that He is telling them that they will stop hearing from Him…that is from everyone other than Micah the prophet. He is the one speaking and has the terrible message…
God wants His people to have relationship with Him. A relationship similar in many ways to all our other relationships. One where I talk to him, ask His advise, seek to learn about Him, and even do what He wants me to do…after all He knows the perfect thing to do in every situation! I would be a fool to ignore His guidance!!!
But, Lord, that is the very thing I do so often. I think that I have a great idea, or just forget to ask. I run ahead with what makes sense to me…but I miss out on hearing Your voice, knowing You more.
Lord, help me to listen carefully when I pray. Help me to focus on Your voice rather than the millions of others around me. Allow me to recognize when I forget to seek your will and stop immediately to pray and read scripture. Your presence is the greatest blessing I can have, so help me to value it as if it were precious!
