Text for the Day -- Micah 7:14-15, 18
----------
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock that belongs to you,
which lives alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;
let them feed in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
show us marvellous things.
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over the transgression
of the remnant of your possession?
He does not retain his anger for ever,
because he delights in showing clemency.
Devotional
----------
Micah offers a prayer to God. He calls on God to be their Shepherd,
leading them to a renewed land. God's mercy is lifted up by Micah.
Israel's memory carries the stories of God's mighty acts of rescue
and caring. God will again shepherd Israel in the land to which God
brought them. A part of the courage of faith is found in the memories
that the Holy Spirit brings forth of God's great deeds of mercy.
Prayer
---------------
Holy Spirit, enliven my memory with the acts of God's mercy in my
life. Amen
