THOUGHTS ON MICAH: IX

(Chap 5: 4)


He gave His life for them “And he shall stand
To feed his flock”, clothed in Jehovah's strength;
The love that shepherds to their heavenly land
Is love that sought for them to such a length.


The One who is their fortress and their Rock
Has shown that He will always understand
Their needs “and he shall stand and feed his flock”.

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: VIII

(Chap 5: 2)


He shall come forth to God “who is to be
Ruler in Israel” having achieved
All that the heart of God desired to see
And to display in those who have believed.


All nations, knowing He does all things well,
Will add to praises which He has received
“Who is to be Ruler in Israel”. 

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: VII

(Chap 4: 6)


'I will assemble her that halteth and
Will gather her that's driven out'; His grace,
Not only drawing from a distant land,
Will settle her in her exalted place.


God shall reign over them, who brought about
Their healing; they shall bow before His face
When He will gather her that's driven out. 

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: VI

(Chap 4: 4)


And every one shall sit “under his vine
And under his fig-tree” as made replete,
Enjoying both a joy that is divine
And blessings that are succulent and sweet.


What blessedness that this is what we see
By faith, as each believer takes his seat,
“Under his vine and under his fig-tree”.

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: V

(Chap 4: 2)

“And he shall teach us of his ways”, the nations
Will say, and bind themselves to follow in
His paths. For Christ shall bring in new relations
On earth when His millennium shall begin.


All shall redound to God the Father's praise
As He by whom the world is cleansed from sin
Shall rule, “and he will teach us of his ways. 
                                                                 

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: IV

(Chap 3: 8)

He told them, “truly I am filled with power by
The Spirit of Jehovah”; what he claimed
Was proved by all the blessing he was showered by
In light concerning Christ which he proclaimed.


Blest Spirit, as I see the Man I'm thrilled with
And seek to gather where His Name is named
May I have power that truly I am filled with!

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: III

(Chap 2: 13)

Since “One that breaketh through” has gone before
We may advance whatever may ensue;
One who was once confined has burst the door
Of death, securing pasture that is new.


Discern, because of the exultant noise
The host of men since “One that breaketh through”
Has gone before to lead to heavenly joys. 

THOUGHTS ON MICAH: II

(Chap 2: 7)

God says, “Do not my words do good to him
That walketh uprightly”. It is his food
For every day; whenever life is dim
It is his light; his guard when sins intrude.


It is his tutor in the heavenly ways:
For this, and more: “Do not my words do good
To him that walketh uprightly”, God says.
