#soap # Micah 03 ## Title: Empowered for the Season ## Scripture: (Micah 3:8) “But I am full of the courage that the Lord’s Spirit gives and have a strong commitment to justice. This enables me to confront Jacob with its rebellion and Israel with its sin.” (NET) ## Observation: I heard someone once say, “You have everything you need to do everything God has created you to do.” This has become a life motto. God not only equips us for life, He also equips us with what we need for the season we are in. This does not always mean we are going to have an easy time. Often, one of the greatest tools He gives us is the ability to withstand storms. Also, He uses difficulty to sharpen our gifts. If you have ever watched someone sharpen a blade, it is loud, hard to do, and creates friction. But, the finished result is a tool worthy of service. Micah is saying he has been gifted with the presence of the Holy Spirit to do the job. We always need to remember the greatest gift is the ability to abide and lean on God in every difficulty. ## Application: Realize God is with you and is the greatest gift we have been given to thrive in the season we are in. Abide in Him. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us and being our daily gift.
