1.世间没有正直人（v1-2）
先知指明世间没有正直人，正如《罗马书3:10》···“没有义人，连一个也没有。”这是引用《诗篇14:3》等经文的描述。但是，当我们因信称义之后，我们的一生追求就是要迈向完全不是吗？
2.作恶的难免遭报（v3-4）
延续上文，继续说到上至君王也都偏离公义、怜悯，一心为恶，偏离神的律法和诫命。最后的结果当然是被刑罚管教，陷入扰乱与不安。
3.自家人相互为敌（v5-6）
这里说到家人也反目成仇的现象，你见过这样的事吗？还是你也有这样的经历？还是你正是这种经历的当事人呢？即是说和某些家人已经关系决裂，不再能够见面相处了？如果这样不也同样得罪神了吗？
神要我们脱离人性的败坏，活出生命树的美善生命啊！
1.等候神者才有救（v7）
得蒙拯救在于等候神、仰望神！那是指对神的完全依靠，求神介入。
然而，等候神最大的困难在于不是按照自己心里的时间表。不知道神什么时候“行动”，或者事与愿违的的时候的信心考验啊！
2.重新起来才有光（v8-9）
神的子民要明白跌倒了还要爬起来，要知罪而认罪悔改啊！若真有冤屈就要等候神为自己伸冤啊！
选择相信是积极正面的信心回应，要知道人一旦认罪悔改，脱离黑暗就有重见光明的时候。选择与回应是人的自由，神迹的结果只有一路等候神。
仇敌遭报是“戏剧人生”的高潮，原来现实人生也是如此。
唯有忍耐到底的必然得救，因为神是最终的掌权者。
时候一到，子民要回归，圣城要重建。先前被虏分散，后必按神应许回归。然而敌人最终必然荒凉而败落，这就是有神之人信靠神而得的结果。
1.敌人惊讶于神的作为（v14-17）
神是信实的牧者，祂绝不会忘记祂的子民。列国要抵挡和攻击神的子民，但是神却是以权柄的杖牧养祂的子民。神如牧人，将再次亲自喂养、安慰、引导祂的子民。
神要再次施展神迹，就像当年出埃及的时候。这是一个恢复关系、恢复土地、恢复属灵状况的写照。就像当年出埃及的神迹。
万国会因此战兢，神最终显明祂的主权！
2.余民蒙神的慈爱怜悯（v18-20）
这样的话语与应许正如新约里耶稣基督的救赎恩典，这是神最核心的属性，慈爱与怜悯，把我们所不配得的恩典，白白的赐给我们。这也是神要祂的子民活出的生命见证啊！
我们在生活中也有机会活出神的属性，即是当自己被冒犯、被伤害、被攻击的时候，就有机会可以学习赦免人、饶恕人的功课不是吗？
总结：我们可享完美大结局
犯罪堕落之后的世人都生于罪中也活在罪中，原本黑暗的人生，灭亡的结局是世人的写照。但是因着神的恩典，我们可以靠主经历赦罪蒙拯救的新人生，得享完美的大结局。
Micah 7
The Promise of Out of Darkness into Light

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan
1. There are no upright people in the world (v1-2)
The prophet pointed out that there are no upright people in the world, as Romans 3:10 says, " There is none righteous, no, not one." This is a description quoted from Psalm 14:3 and other scriptures. However, after we are justified by faith, our lifelong pursuit is to move towards perfection, isn't it?
2. Those who do evil will inevitably be punished (v3-4)
Continuing from the previous passage, it goes on to say that even the kings have deviated from justice and mercy, and have become wicked, deviating from God’s laws and commandments. The final result is of course punishment and discipline and falling into chaos and unrest.
3. Family members become enemies (v5-6)
you ever seen such a thing? Or have you had such an experience? Or are you the person who has such an experience? In other words, the relationship with some family members has broken down and they can no longer meet and get along? If this is so, isn’t it also an offense to God?
God wants us to break away from the corruption of human nature and live out the beautiful life of the tree of life!
1.Only those who wait for God will be saved (v7)
Being saved is about waiting on God and looking up to God! That means completely relying on God and asking God to intervene.
However, the biggest difficulty in waiting on God is that it is not in accordance with the timetable in your heart. It is a test of faith when you don’t know when God will “act” or when things go against your wishes!
2. There is light only when we get up again (v8-9)
God's people must understand that they must get up after falling and must know their sins and confess and repent! If there is any injustice, they must wait for God to redress their grievances! Choosing to believe is a positive response of faith. We must know that once people confess and repent, they will escape darkness and see the light again. The choice and response are people's freedom, and the only way to get a miracle is to wait for God all the way.
3. The enemy will eventually be trampled (v10)
The retribution of the enemy is the climax of "dramatic life", and it turns out that real life is also like this.
Only those who endure to the end will be saved, because God is the ultimate ruler.
When the time comes, the people will return, and the holy city will be rebuilt. They were previously captive and scattered, but they will return according to God's promise. However, the enemy will eventually be desolate and defeated. This is the result of people who have God and trust in God.
1. The enemy is surprised at God’s actions (v14-17)
God is a faithful shepherd, and He will never forget His people. The nations will resist and attack God's people, but God will shepherd His people with the rod of authority. God, like a shepherd, will personally feed, comfort, and guide His people again.
God will perform miracles again, just like the Exodus. This is a portrayal of restoring relationships, restoring land, and restoring spiritual conditions. Just like the miracle of the Exodus.
The nations will tremble at this, and God will finally show His sovereignty!
2. The remnant receives God’s love and mercy (v18-20)
Such words and promises are just like the redemption grace of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. This is the core attribute of God, love and mercy, giving us grace that we do not deserve for free. This is also the life testimony that God wants His people to live out!
We also have the opportunity to live out God's attributes in our lives, that is, when we are offended, hurt, or attacked, we have the opportunity to learn the lesson of forgiving and forgiving others, isn’t it?
After the fall, all people in the world are born in sin and live in sin. The dark life and the ending of destruction are the portrayal of the world. However, because of God's grace, we can rely on the Lord to experience a new life of forgiveness and salvation and enjoy a perfect ending.
