They will destroy the Assyrians with their swords; they will conquer the land of Assyria with their swords drawn. They will rescue us from the Assyrians when they come into our land, when they walk over our borders. Then the people of Jacob who are left alive will be to other people like dew from the LORD or rain on the grass— it does not wait for human beings; it does not pause for any person. Those of Jacob’s people who are left alive will be scattered among many nations and peoples. They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion in a flock of sheep: As it goes, it jumps on them and tears them to pieces, and no one can save them. So you will raise your fist in victory over your enemies, and all your enemies will be destroyed.

Seven daily readings for the month of December from Come, Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional by best-selling author Paul David Tripp will help you slow down, prepare your heart, and focus on what matters most: adoring our Savior, Jesus.
Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).
Jesus’ birth is much more than a simple story we tell at Christmas. Jesus’ birth is the foundation of our faith; without this miraculous birth, there is no Savior. Through this 7-day plan, watch clips from the iBIBLE animation of the birth of Jesus to witness this world-changing event for yourself. Dig deeper with us into the shepherds’ visit to the manger, the census that caused Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem, and more to understand the true significance of Christmas.
