From Exile to Victory

 

    Micah goes into the last day for their world as they knew it.  Many nations will want into Heaven, but they have to acknowledge that He is ruler over all nations.  They all will flock to God's house united as one nation.  God is teaching us His ways, so that we may take His path of faith.  It will lead us to Him.  We can find it in His Word.  We learn that having Him as our ruler that corruption disappears and God's kingdom is established.  

    God will settle many disputes, but there will still be many wars in this world.  Once people find their way to God in His domain, then there will be no more war.  There will be no more fear.  Eternal life will be beautiful and peaceful because God has declared it.  The weak become strong.  The lame will be able to walk.  This is God's sovereignty.  It holds hope. We may have scattered, but He will bring us all back together.   

    When we know what could be, why do we argue?  Why do we have to insist our ways are the right ways?  Why do we ignore the truth, to make what we want true to be true?  That only exiles your from what you really want.  To be rescued, to be redeemed, you must humble yourself.  You have to give what you cherish to God.  First you have to face judgment, then you can be an inhabitant in Heaven.  Judgment is not easy, but it is the only way to leave exile and be rescued.    

    Instead of fighting God, try to understand His plan.  You may feel crushed in this world, but God will rise you up in eternity.  You will learn what true wealth is.  You will find your true heart's desire.  All the perversions of the world will disappear and your soul will no longer have to fight or be in anguish.  The other option is to become an oppressor and never find your eternal home.
