What Does the Lord Understand? part 8

A continuation of excerpts from Dr. Jay Wimberly's sermon notes of a message delivered September 7, 2003 to The Main Street Baptist Church in Auburndale, FL.

The text is from Micah 4:12: But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.


What's the bottom line?

God understands everything is settled in His Son: Acts 16:31. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved....

What does the Lord understand about where I should be and what I should do? Micah 6:8. He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?


What is it to do justly? To do that which is right in the sight of God. (To satisfy God's exacting justice.)

What is it to love mercy? To love what God has done for sinners in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is it to walk humbly with God? To bow down, to confess our sin and our guilt, and to live as subjects of the great God.
