Micah 2:1-13

GOD’s REMNANT

Keywords 2:12

"I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a fl ock in its pasture; the place will throng with people.

 

1. Man’s plans and God’s plans (1-5)

Men lie on their beds and calculate this and that about how to take advantage

of others to their own profit. But God has his own plan. He will bring disaster on

people who plan deceit and fraud, even before they can carry out their plans.

 

2. False prophets (6-11)

False prophets are popular because they tell people what they want to hear (11).

They do not warn the people about God’s judgment. In fact, such false prophets

advised Micah to keep quiet and not prophesy about God’s judgment. We must

be clear to give God’s word to help his people repent no matter how unpopular

the message is.

 

3. Deliverance of the remnant (12-13)

In the day of catastrophe God will surely spare a remnant of his people. The

remnant are those who are truly his sheep, those who follow him and obey him.

We have hope in God alone.

 

Prayer Lord, let me be among your sheep and a part of your faithful remnant.

Take from my mind the useless plans and human thinking and help me to

put my hope in you alone.

One Word Be God’s sheep and remnant
