Micah 2
Verse of the Day: V13 “The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and
the LORD on the head of them.”
1. Beds (V1-11)
V1 “Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the
morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.”
God through Prophet Micah pronounced judgment and trouble upon the people of Israel
who had openly rebelled and sinned against Him. The people of Israel would plot their
wicked deeds upon their beds in the night, and would execute them the next day! It was
sad and tragic that the people of Israel, God’s chosen people, had become God’s enemy.
V8 “Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the
garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.”
2. Bozrah (V12)
V12 “I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of
Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of
their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.”
God through Micah encouraged the remnant that the Lord would always protect and
provide for them, and one day, He would gather them into His Promised Land in Heaven.
Micah reminded them that the Lord was like the shepherd who gathered his sheep to
Bozrah, an excellent pasture land, where the sheep would have plenty of grass to graze,
and abundant streams of water to drink, and they shall never be hungry or thirsty again.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” (Psalms 23:1-2)
3. Breaker (V13)
V13 “The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed
through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and
the LORD on the head of them.”
The Breaker was none other the Almighty God, the King, the Lord, who would break the
arm of the wicked man, the Devil, and led the remnant to enter the pearly gate of Heaven.
“Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till
thou find none.” (Psalms 10:15)
Prayer of the Day:
Dearest God, thank You for breaking the arm of the Devil so that I can enter the
pearly gate of Heaven.
