Bible Meditation No. 1734
AATHAVAN – Thursday, 06.11.2025
“I will bear the indignation of the LORD
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me out to the light,
And I will see His righteousness.”
— Micah 7:9 (NASB)
It is our sins that separate
us from God. Yet many of us lack a true sense of sin. When the awareness of sin
dawns within us, faith also arises — the faith that God will listen to us,
deliver us from our afflictions, and restore us. Because such conviction and
faith were within him, the prophet Micah confidently declares in today’s verse:
“He will bring me out to the
light, and I will see His righteousness.”
Sometimes, when others see
our downfall, they may mock us or speak ill of us behind our backs. Micah faced
such a situation too. To them he replied:
“But as for me, I will be on the watch for the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.
Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine;
Though I fall I will rise;
Though I dwell in darkness,
The LORD is a light for me.”
— Micah 7:7–8 (NASB)
Yes, beloved, perhaps our
present lowly state is the result of our sins. Therefore, we must confess them
to Him and patiently wait until He acts on our behalf. Micah said:
“I have sinned against the
LORD; I will bear His indignation until He pleads my case and executes justice
for me.”
He did not stop there but
went on to reaffirm his faith:
“Do not rejoice over me,
enemy of mine; though I fall I will rise; though I dwell in darkness, the LORD
is a light for me; I will see His righteousness.”
Human life can be viewed in
two parts:
- The first — the dark phase, lived
without knowing Christ.
- The second — the bright phase, which
begins after coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sadly, most people live and
end their lives in the first, dark phase. Worse still, they mock those who live
in the light. Jesus Himself acknowledged this reality, saying:
“For the sons of this age
are shrewder in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.” — Luke
16:8 (NASB)
It is better to be
simple-minded and inherit eternal life than to be worldly-wise and end up in
eternal fire. That is true wisdom. Therefore, like Micah, let us say,
“I have sinned against the
LORD,” confessing our sins and seeking His forgiveness. Let us not be moved by
people’s criticism, but live truthfully and steadfastly before God, confessing
our sins to Him.
When we live sincerely in
this way, as today’s meditation verse promises —
He will bring us into the light, and we will see His
righteousness.
