Father, help us all remember, that the Holy Spirit(God), lives inside one us. Help us to remember, to treat our bodies, as your living temple, with our mouths, our eyes, and our ears, as we walk daily with you, Lord. Deliver us each moment from the sin, so easily besets us, in your name. AMEN.
God Is the Source of Salvation and Light
Noted from John MacArthur Study Bible
7:1–6 Micah lamented the circumstances of his day. In his vain search for an upright person
(cf. v. 2), he compared himself to the vinedresser who enters his vineyard late in the season and finds no fruit. The leaders conspired together to get what they wanted
(v. 3). No one could be trusted
(vv. 5, 6). Christ used v. 6 as an illustration when He commissioned the twelve (Mt 10:1, 35, 36). ‡
7:1 Woe is me! Micah sounded like Isaiah (cf. Is 6:5). †
7:7 In spite of his dire circumstances, Micah, as a watchman (cf. v. 4), would intently look for evidence of God’s working, trusting God to act in His own time and way (cf. Hab 3:16–19).
See the rest of the story below……
“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 NASB1995
For our astruggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places! Eph 6:12
speculations. Thoughts, ideas, reasonings, philosophies, and false religions are the ideological forts in which men barricade themselves against God and the gospel (cf. 1Co 3:20). every thought captive. Emphasizes the total destruction of the fortresses of human and satanic wisdom and the rescuing of those inside from the damning lies that had enslaved them.

Why do we try and figure out God, in our itty, bitty, little minds, rather than walk in Faith? May we just stop and recognize him, in humility and say, “I will Trust in Him and his Marvelous Love. Help me with my Faith, Oh Lord, that I may see you Clearly, through the eyes of your Words(Bible)!
Taken from Letters to the Church by Francis Chan
Slow down long enough to marvel. The sun is ninety-three million miles away, and you are unable to stare at it. You obviously can’t touch the sun and live, so how is it possible that we are currently attached to the One who shines brighter than the sun? High angels cover themselves with their wings in His presence (Isa. 6:2), yet you are a member of His body. Why would Someone so extraordinary choose to care for you like His own arm?
It is not how Many bible studies, Church services, tithes, church social events, etc., that we do…….Not saying these are bad, but if its a checklist, a thing you do, ant not a reflection of your heart, walking in Faith, with the living God????, then read Matt 7.. Where Jesus says, I NEVeR knew you!!.
God is Faithful……
“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3 NASB1995
God is a keeper of his promises
The Lord is FAITHFUL. God is faithful in regard to creation (Ps 119:90), His promises (Dt 7:9; 2Co 1:18; Heb 10:23), salvation (1Th 5:24), temptation (1Co 10:13), suffering (1Pe 4:19), and here faithful to strengthen and protect from Satan (cf. Jn 17:15; Eph 6:16; 1Th 3:5).
