Song # 2191 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Holy Bible, we read on a number of occasions about warnings from both God and our Lord Jesus against listening to false prophets. In Micah chapter 2, we read that God warns about false prophets and evildoers.
“Do not prophesy” their prophets say. “Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us” (Micah 2:6). Should it be said, oh house of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of the Lord angry? Does He do such things? Do not my words do good to him whose ways are upright?” (Micah 2:7). “Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. Without a care you strip off the rich robe from those who pass by, like men returning from battle” (Micah 2:8). “You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children for ever” (Micah 2:9). “Get up, go away! For this is not your resting place, because it is defiled, it is ruined, beyond all remedy” (Micah 2:10). “If a liar and deceiver comes and says, ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer’ he would be just the prophet for these people” (Micah 2:11).
Thought for today: God’s certainty will see us through life’s uncertainties.
Thought for the future: now is the time to invest in heaven. Where will you spend your eternity?
