As For Me

 Scripture:

“But as for me, I am filled with power— with the Spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.” ‭‭Micah‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Micah had been railing against Israel, Judah and all the surrounding nations because of their evil. He was now confronting their priests and teachers and condemning them for not wanting to ministry without nice pay. In the midst of slamming Israel’s prophets and priests he says, “But as for me, I am filled with power - with the Spirit of the Lord.”

Application:

I want to be able to declare like Micah what God is speaking, but more than that I want to declare, “But as for me, I am filled with power - with the Spirit of the Lord.” I want to walk with God and know who I am in Him. I don’t want to do ministry for a price tag or for offerings, but in obedience to the Lord God Almighty. I want to do exactly what He wants for my life. I don’t want to be corrupted by the things of this world.

Prayer:

Father, help me to live a life that pleases You above everything else. I long to walk a walk worthy of the calling You have called me with. I see church leaders working for offerings and not wanting to declare Your words because it might offend a big giver. Help me to walk in truth and declare Your truth without fear of finances. I want to live a life filled with Your power.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
