They will shepherd the Assyrians with the sword, the land of Nimrod with the drawn sword. And YAHWEH will deliver us from the Assyrians, when they invade our land and tread on our territory. Then the remnant of Jacob will be scattered among many peoples. They will be like the refreshing dew from YAHWEH, like raindrops on the meadows, which do not wait on man’s command and are beyond human control. Then the scattered remnant of Jacob will live among the nations. They will be like lions among the animals of the forest, like fierce lions among flocks of sheep, they will pounce on their prey with no one to rescue. You will be victorious over your foes, and all your enemies will be torn to pieces.

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.
