Daily Manna: Worth Waiting For

Wednesday 21, August 2013

TEXT: MICAH 5:1-8

KEY VERSE: “And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver” (Micah 5:8 ).

The promises of God never fail. And it is impossible for God to lie. The passage of time does not diminish the word and promises of God. Every true believer will never regret relying wholly on His never failing promises.

Micah in his writing had prophesied about the birth of Christ. He proclaimed that though Bethlehem, very “little among the thousands of Judah would bring forth he that would be ruler in Israel whose going forth have been from of old from everlasting.” Although the prophecy was not fulfilled immediately, it, nevertheless, came to pass. What it means is that times and circumstances will never alter the programme of God.

There are those, who, because of circumstances of life, may have begun to question the veracity of God’s promises, even though they have over and over again been assured of the infallibility of such promises. No matter the circumstances, we must not shift our focus. If Bethlehem, an insignificant city in Judah had the rare privilege of producing the Messiah as prophesied and fulfilled, how we need to be assured that all the promises of God for our lives, nay for all believers, will be fulfilled at their own time. God is not a Being who acts by whims; His determinate counsel must surely come to pass.

What then has God written concerning you? Trust Him, those promises will surely be fulfilled at the fullness of time. Make sure however that you stand on the side of Christ, fulfil your vows, redeem the pledge and act on His word. Despair not; His promises concerning you will surely come to pass.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God is faithful to fulfil His promises.
