Micah 7:7 “Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.”
During the dark and difficult days, Micah makes 3 bold declarations regarding his relationship with God. First, he declares that he will look to the Lord. This declaration to look to the Lord reminds us of Psalm 121:1-2 as the Psalmist says, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
Who are you looking to in dark and difficult days?
Second, he declares he will wait for the Lord. To wait is to be patient and allow God to work. Seeing the word wait reminds us of Isaiah 40:31. Recall it says, “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
With his 2 declarations of “I will” he now makes the boldest declaration of all in stating that God will hear him!
Micah had a tremendous conviction about God with a tremendous confidence in God.
Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7)
Look up to God who listens! Wait on god who works!
Who do you look to when life is a mess? Someone wrote:
If you want to be dismayed – look ahead
If you want to be defeated by life – look back
If you want to be distressed – look within
If you want to be distracted – look around
If you want to be discouraged – look to others
If you want to be delivered – look up! Look up, my brother, look up to the Lord.
