Mourn Over Sin 1
Micah 1:8 Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot
and naked, I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.
The people of Judah had committed the sins of Israel. They gave
themselves over to other gods, to idols who have no power. God would certainly
destroy them, for their sin was too great! God, despite his slowness to anger,
despite his great love, the people of Judah would be destroyed and taken into
captivity!
In these verses, God himself is crying, and he wails for his
people. They seem oblivious to the fact that their sin is destroying them, so
they continue on their merry way. Sin has blinded them! So, God delivers the
bad news; you will be destroyed just like Israel. Your sins are many and death,
destruction, and captivity are at hand!
K and A, make sure you understand that God hates sin. His love for you will bring will not stop the penalty of sin. Certainly, he has prepared a way for redemption, but you must be willing to take the way of Christ; submission and obedience. Take a look at your life... if there is sin, you moan and wail, understanding that God is not happy with you. Repent and do right to keep him from crying about you and the destruction he must bring in your life. Live in such a way that pleases the Lord!
