FAITH CAPSULE:He is not a slave master but a Saving Master.

Micah 2, 3

Absolutely there is no word that is strong enough to describe the awesomeness of God. He pardons iniquity, and does not retain His anger forever. He delights in mercy; He is compassionate; He casts all our sins into depth of sea. God is a covenant keeping God. Amos 3:7 describes Him, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” God revealed to Micah what will happen in the latter days, Micah 4:1-5, “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken…”” What more can God do for us so that we know we have a God who truly cares for us. The birth of Jesus was not hidden when He revealed through some of His servants in the Bible. He revealed to Micah about the coming of Jesus long before Jesus was born, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” (Micah 5:2) Have you received and believed Him? A failure not receive or believe in him is a passage to the ways of his enemies. Nahum 1:2-3 described God’s wrath on His enemies, “God is jealous, and the LORD avenges; the LORD avenges and is furious. The LORD will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies; the LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. The LORD has His way…” He is a good God. He is not a slave master but a Saving Master. God does not run out of mercies but by disobedience, we often run out on the mercies which He has in place for us.

Prayer for today:  Ask our Lord God to deposit His fear in your heart so that you will not depart from Him.
