Micah 5

When the Messiah comes, his rescued people will no longer need battle preparations, but will live in peace in their own land.  They will also participate in his dominion of the nations.  This Messiah will be born in Bethlehem, and will be great to the ends of the earth.  Micah combines aspects of Christ’s first and second comings.  He sees the Lord’s advents from a distance.  The LORD also sees our lives that way.  He sees the struggles you now face in the present.  But he also sees your eternal victory in the future.  He believes in you because he loves you.  And he also knows the full story.

LORD,  give us the insight to believe in our full story.
