Serving the Lord faithfully means resting in His sovereign plan, even if it is not the same as your plan. Micah prophesied to hard-hearted people who were unwilling to trust in the Lord’s plan and rest in Him. This resulted in great sorrow for them.
Resting in the Lord is one of the most prized possessions of the believer. We do not need to work to please Him or to earn righteousness. We can rest in His finished work for our salvation. We can rest in His victory over sin, this world, and Satan. We can rest in the peace the Lord has given us. We need not be troubled or afraid (John 14:27) (Bible Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Summer Quarter 2022).
