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 marvelous 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 forever, because he delights in showing clemency.
Devotional ---------- Micah offers a prayer to God. He calls on God to be their Shepherd, leading them back to their homeland. God's mercy is lifted up by Micah. Israel's many memories carry the story of God's mighty acts of rescue and caring. God will again shepherd Israel in the land to which God had restored 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 ----------- Help me trust in your mercy and power, O Lord. Amen
