Speaking to the Lord
Micah 7:7
“Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.”
Here we have, first of all, the confession and intercessory prayer of the prophet, who considered himself in the terrible state with Israel. He confesses the nations sins as his own, accepts the wrath of God as rightly poured out on him, and looks forward with confidence to future deliverance. Intercession, or speaking to the LORD for the people, was the test of a true prophet. “But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of Host” (Jer. 27:18). It was here that Elijah failed, in that he made intercession against the people of Israel (1 Kings 19:10,14) instead of on their behalf. He was removed from his office, and Elisha was put in his place. Micah also stands here for the sorrowing remnant of Israel speaking during the coming Tribulation.
We need to be praying intercessory prayers for our people as well, as we see terrible tribulation coming our way, and it is coming!
God bless and stay safe!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
