Israel's Coming Deliverer

When we are most humbled and weak, it is then that God shines forth most gloriously, and helps us with His great and precious promises. In this wonderful chapter of Micah we read of Israel's great humiliation at the hands of their enemies—all because of their previous unfaithfulness to God. But now the Lord stirs up their hope by promising them a Deliverer! The surprise; however, is that this Savior will be born in lowly Bethlehem, not lofty Jerusalem, the city of the Jewish Kings. This Deliverer is the One promised from of old, whose coming is from ancient days, and His kingdom will endure forever!
