Tues., 11/27/07 Devotion (Mic. 2:7b)

Today's encouragement comes from Micah 2:7b, where we read these few words:

" . . . Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? . . . "

This is a good question. Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted? Answer: no. No matter how sinful, vile, wicked, or polluted a person, nation, or whole world may be--evil is still not stronger than God. Sometimes even true believers begin to wonder if even God is able to subdue the rampant rebellion of fallen souls.

But, of course He can. Will He? If it is His sovereign will and desire to do so. Our prayer ought to be that God would revive His true religion, strengthen His church, crush His enemies, and bless the whole world. For you, is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
