May you know that you are the blessing of the Lord to the people around you, to the folks among whom He has placed you as you journey on your pilgrimage to His kingdom, that through you He may bring the refreshing of the morning dew and the renewing like showers on the grass, that anyone who has a hunger in their heart for the things of God will know where to turn and Whom to seek as you pass among them. Micah 5
May you know that you are strong in the Lord against the spiritual enemy which resists the will of God and rejects the word of God, for through you He is like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, overcoming all the powers of spiritual evil and none can stand, none can rescue, so that your hand will be lifted up in triumph over the enemies of your soul, and all the principalities of your foes will be destroyed. Micah 5
May you know that the Lord will destroy all that draws people from Him and demolish all that people replace Him with, so may you release those things from your hands and reject them from your thoughts, casting them out of your heart, allowing the discipline and rebuke of the Lord to have its complete renewing and cleansing work, lest when His vengeance and wrath destroys His enemies, you be found in their camp, having continually resisted His call and rejected His wooing and the drawing of His Spirit. Micah 5
May you know and understand what the will of the Lord is for you, obeying willingly and joyfully what He has shown you to be good, and following with gladness and alacrity what He requires of you: act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Micah 6
May you watch in hope for the Lord and wait for God your Savior, for God will hear you and, even though you have fallen, He will strengthen you to rise, and though you sit in darkness, the Lord will be your light, causing your enemy to see it and be covered with shame. Micah 7
May you come to understand that there is no God like the Lord Who pardons sin and forgives transgression, Whose anger does not endure, but delights to show mercy and will have compassion on you, treading your sins underfoot and hurling all your iniquities into the depths of the sea, for He will be true to His promises and show mercy to all who love Him. Micah 7
Walk in purity, My child, desiring My holiness and pursuing My righteousness. Know that you will not achieve it through any effort of your will or listing of your labor and deeds, but through your love of Me and as you devotedly hunger for and seek after My heart.
I bring you into My holiness as you wait in patient adoration, yielding up your plans and dreams and hopes; I grant you to walk in My righteousness, extending it over you and enveloping you in Me. I will attribute to you that which is Mine, as you cease from your works and lay down your tools, your understanding and strength, committing your time and will to commune with Me, hearing Me, learning of Me through My Word and by My Spirit.
Know that I despise, and will bring judgment on, all who have dishonest scales and use false weights in their dealings with others, using a short measure in what they give, but taking a long measure in what they demand. Your scales and weights, your understanding and judgment, your knowledge of right and wrong, your sense of what is fair and unfair, are imperfect and flawed; you cannot be pure and holy, righteous and honest, within yourself.
You must come to Me, for only I have the life-giving abundance that loves impartially and accepts uncritically, even while knowing fully and discerning completely. You must learn to walk with Me, in agreement and obedience, not retaining your own choices and opinions. Accept My yoke, for it is light and easy; learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble; rest in Me, for My grace is sufficient.
May you be among the great multitude that no one can count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb, holding palm branches in their hands and wearing white robes, crying with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, Who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Revelation 7
May you praise the Lord, for He is good, and sing praise to His name, for that is pleasant, because the Lord is great and greater than all gods, doing whatever pleases Him in the heavens, on the earth, and in the seas. His name endures forever and His renown continues through all generations. Psalm 135
May you treasure and value every word of God, for they are flawless and will be a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5
