Don’t prattle on




“Do not prattle,” you say to those who prophesy. So they shall not prophesy to you; They shall not return insult for insult. You who are named the house of Jacob: “Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good To him who walks uprightly? – Micah 2v6-7

Micah felt like most preachers feel at one time or another. The people were tired of it and described the prophecy like a drip of water. ‘Stop the dripping, would you?’ the people said.

That sounds like a lot of people who don’t want to hear God’s word. They turn off their ears and tell the believer to stop their babbling. The problem is that those words do not deny the message or the God behind it.

God’s word has the power to do great good but man tends to reject it. That should not be a surprise. We know that the Light entered the world the world rejected the Light. We should not be surprised when people reject.

Even when rejected the power of God’s word remains.
