Sweet Drowning Out Contemporary Culture

Micah 3-7

It’s dark in the woods, the soft chorus of crickets hold close to night.   An occasional acorn falls.  Way off, in the deep dark trunks a sweet bird’s song begins.  I can feel my heart.  The bird’s song is the underline on many of the verses this morning.  

In a world of dark, wickedness slithers around, cultures light funeral pyre’s to encircle governments and evil is so bad that they cast themselves upon one another; a Still, Sweet Voice sings softly to the ears of those that will hear underlining His message,

“With what shall I come to the

         Lord

And bow myself before the

         God on high?

Shall I come to Him with

         burnt offerings,

With yearling calves?

Does the Lord take

         delight in thousands of

         rams,

In ten thousand rivers of

         oil?

Shall I present my first-born for

         my rebellious acts,

The fruit of my body for the

         sin of my soul?

He has told you, O man,

         what is good;

And what does the Lord

         require of you

But to do justice, to

         love kindness,

And to walk humbly with your

         God?”  6:6-8

Don’t you just love sweet birds in the dark of morning!!!
