Micah 7:7 (NKJV): Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.
The book of Micah is a book about God's justice. It is interesting to note that God has allocated a book in the Holy Bible just to talk about justice! In fact, the very name 'Micah' ('Miyka Yah' in Hebrew) means 'Who is like Yah (the Lord)'. You see, there's only so much man can do to bring justice, but the Lord our God is THE JUSTICE, and there is no one like Him!
Having been raised in his rugged home, and from among the country (rural) people, Micah was burdened by the unfair treatment of the weak (and poor) by those who abuse their power (authority). And the Lord called him out as a prophet to proclaim justice, mercy, and deliverance for those who are victims of injustice.
Micah 1:3 says, 'For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place; He will come down and tread on the high places (i.e. the proud things) of the earth'.
Micah 2:1-2 says, 'Woe to those who devise iniquity, and work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and take them by violence, also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance'.
Micah 3:1-2 says, '...Is it not for you to know justice? You who hate good and love evil; Who strip the skin from My people, and the flesh from their bones'.
People of God, the Lord our God is (and will always be) a God of justice to those who are victims of injustice. Take heart and be encouraged. Just as in the days of prophet Micah, God has never changed His stance for those who humble themselves and look to Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. For some of you out there who have been victims of injustice (whether in the workplace, in the family circle, or in the society), the Lord wants you to know that He remembers you, and He will redeem you!
I heard these words from the Lord recently:
"Tell My people who are victims of injustice: 'Look to Me! For your deliverance and restoration is at hand! Look to Me! For your vindication and freedom is at hand! For I remember you, and I will redeem you!'"
Indeed, He is not dead, but He is still very much active and alive in your situation, no matter how great the odds are stacked against you at the moment. So, all is not lost yet. There is a new hope for you. There is a new horizon awaiting you. This is your time to look to Him and cry out to Him! He will hear you, and He will plead your cause. He will never allow His divine plans (and purposes) for His people to be hindered and taken away. Amen!
