Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height. Micah 3:12 – Don’t ever begin to believe your faithfulness today has no impact on the future. Here the prophet was speaking to God’s people, calling them to repent like so many of the prophets that went to Israel did over the centuries. Something beautiful though we see unfold with this message of Micah is that it was listened to and followed. We learn from scripture that King Hezekiah and the people of Judah heeded the words of the prophet Micah. Jeremiah 26:17-19 tells us of this time, how the king and the people listened and turned from their sin. The Lord then turned from the disaster that He was to bring upon them. Even a hundred years after the life of Micah the faithfulness of King Hezekiah to the Lord’s word from Micah had an impact. Know your faithfulness can have an impact that will span the centuries. You saying no to that sin and ending it’s reign in your family line matters. You choosing to make your faith the most important thing to you will touch the lives around you and the lives after you. You saying yes to God’s call today will send ripples for many years to come. No, you may not always see the impact. The impact may even come a century after you pass from this life, but that just shows how great our God is and how essential our faithful living today is. If God can use one faithful choice from a king to impact a nation a century later, imagine what God can do with an entire life that is wholly devoted to Him?
