Bible: Micah 7:1-7

Micah’s lament in chapter 7 captures a profound spiritual desolation rooted in the moral and covenantal collapse of God’s people, where even the most basic human relationships—family, friendship, and marriage—have been corrupted by sin and betrayal. Far from mere melodrama, his woe reflects a faithful prophet’s heartbroken recognition that the very people entrusted with God’s covenant have become spiritually barren, bearing only the thorns of violence and deceit, and thus deserving of divine judgment. Yet amid this despair, Micah’s song pivots not in self-pity but in unwavering trust: he declares, 'But as for me, I will look to the Lord,' affirming that salvation is not found in human institutions or relationships, but solely in God’s faithfulness and redemptive promise. This lament, though rooted in the brokenness of humanity’s fallen state—echoing the fall of Adam and the universal corruption of sin—ultimately points forward to Christ, the true and righteous vine who bore the judgment in our place, fulfilling the hope of salvation and restoring the possibility of trust, joy, and eternal communion with God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1...
