Micah's Story

Daily Reading: Micah 4-6

Micah 4:1-4 “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. (2) And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (3) And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (4) But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.”

I have never enjoyed the prophetic books much because I don’t always understand them, or know what and when they are supposed to be talking about. This passage however bring such a peaceful picture to mind I cannot help but enjoy it. “people shall flow unto it.” That’s so neat. To think of people just streaming to learn more of the awesome love of God. To think that if we could live under the law that comes forth of Zion we would have no fear. His Law is Love.
