Micah #11: A Solid Hope (Micah 7:8-20) 73h1d

This Sunday we’ll be looking at our last study in the book of Micah. We’ll be reading ch 7:8-20. For all of the dire forecasts in this oracle, Micah resolves his prophecy on a pretty hopeful note. There are shades of the Gospel message within these verses – pay attention to the wording and imagine how Jesus could be seen as fulfilling, not just the specifics of the events, but the predicted results as well. How hard is it for you to feel hopeful when life is pretty hard? What sort of things inspire hope in you? Micah gives us some specific descriptions of God’s character that are meant to keep us from the brink of despair. As you read his words, especially v18-20, what attributes of God does he point to, and how might those attributes inspire hope in your heart? I’ve really enjoyed this study – I hope you can us this Sunday as we do our best to land this plane (so to speak)! Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow. 4e1q4
