The Tread of God


As a young person, from child to adult, I’ve watched my share of what used to be referred to as monster movies:  giant ants, giant dinosaurs, giant gorillas and so on.   When these creatures were on the move, they truly wrecked havoc.  It’s the only visual I have to go on.  And that is what came to mind recently when studying the book of Micah.  But I know it is a poor visual that doesn’t even come close to what will occur under the tread of God.  “For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place.  He will come down and tread on the high places of earth.  The mountains will melt under Him and the valleys will be split, like wax before the fire, like water poured down a steep place.” (Micah 1:3-4)

 Let this give us cause to meditate on the great power of our Father, God.  May we be encouraged as to our access to that power; may we also be in awe of Him with respect and holy fear.
