The Sun of Righteousness
Read Malachi 5:4-5
Today’s Truth
In this prophecy, through Micah, God is telling us everything is going to be alright. We will live securely and in peace. God can say this because he’s in charge of all future circumstances and he is responsible for all outcomes, therefore, he can guarantee the safety of those who trust in him. He brings comfort by giving us a sure hope.
Discussion Questions
- “How can you possibly know everything’s going to be alright? Do you believe that God is sovereign over all of your life? Why or why not?
- How does God shepherd you?
- How is God your peace?
Life Application
Our hope is based on his greatness. He tells us he will shepherd his people. He will guard, care and direct his people like a shepherd looking after his sheep. Whereas a human shepherd may meet circumstances he can’t control—excessive heat, flood, pests, but God never meets a circumstance that surprises him or one he can’t change. He acts in strength and majesty that is, with power and authority over every situation. This gives us such confidence that we never have to fear the future.
