Subject: The power of the servant of God - Micah

Micah 3:8 (ESV Strong's)
But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.

Subject:  The power of the servant of God

Those called to serve God are bestowed with tremendous power and insight.   In the above passage Micah is telling the leaders of the day that he has been given power from God, through the Spirit of the Lord, to declare this message.   Timidity is not a comfortable look for the servant(s) of God.   Note what Solomon said prior to Micah's words:

Proverbs 28:1 (ESV Strong's)
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Boldness is a result of a Spirit filled life.   It is not something we conjure up as individuals.  There is a boldness that is man generated.  It has all the energy of man.  But, when God gives us a message, a mission and a mandate, He equips us via the Holy Spirit to be filled with power.  When we speak of His justice and might, we are bold to declare to others God's feeling and thoughts about sin.   Micah was called to speak to the leaders of Israel and Judah to tell them God knew about their injustice and God was not pleased.   Micah was NOT timid.  He was full of grace and power.
