As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things. Church, there is one truth the enemy cannot erase, one testimony hell cannot silence, it is this:
The God who brought you out before—will bring you out again.
Somebody say: The same God Will do it again.
The book of Micah is a prophetic text from the 8th century B.C., during the days of kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah. Micah prophesied to a nation drowning in corruption, political corruption, social injustice, and moral decay. The elite were oppressing the poor, the prophets were preaching for profit, and the people had drifted from God.
Because of their rebellion, God announced coming judgment, specifically at the hands of the Assyrian and later Babylonian empires. But woven into the warnings, God kept dropping these glimmers of grace and promises that judgment would not be the end of the story.
Even while God was calling them out and warning them, He kept sliding in these flashes of hope these little reminders that the consequences wouldn’t be the final chapter, and that He still had a comeback story waiting for them.
Micah 7 is the prophet's final chapter, and by the end he breaks into a prayer, a declaration, and a worship-filled prophecy.
Micah 7 is the prophet Micah is pouring out his heart about the spiritual and moral collapse of the nation. It reads like a man looking around at his society and saying, what has happened to us?
Verses 1–14 paint the scene that leads to God’s promise in verse 15 (I will show them marvelous things).
In versus 1–6: The world is falling apart (and everybody knows it)
Micah 7:1 Woe is me.
Micah opens with deep grief. He says he feels like a person going out to harvest grapes only to find the vines empty.
In other words, I’m living in a world where goodness and godliness are hard to find. The spiritual fruits are missing. Godly people are rare. Integrity is scarce. Righteousness is not normal anymore.
Micah gets to verse 2 and teaches us that the faithful man has vanished. Micah says there aren’t many faithful people left. Loyalty is gone. People can’t be trusted.
And today we live in a time where fake loyalty, inconsistency, and broken trust are everywhere. We are in a time when relationships, leadership, friendships, even church circles and all mess up, jacked up and tore up.
Micah says in versus 3 that Corruption is normal
Leaders, judges, politicians, and influencers are all taking bribes. People scheming with both hands, meaning:
They work hard at doing wrong.
And today it seems like nothing has changed Corruption isn’t the exception anymore, it’s the headline. People work overtime to get ahead, even if it costs their integrity.
Micah says in versus 4 the best of them is like a brier. In other words, even the good ones aren’t good.
Micah had something to say here because in versus 5 and 6 he said don’t trust even close relationships:
Don’t trust a neighbor
Don’t rely on a friend
Be careful with your own family
Even households are divided
He is describing a society where relationships collapse from the inside out.
He’s saying: people don’t know how to treat people anymore. They don’t know how to talk to one another anymore, they lie, cheat, and steal, in my hood they would just call them low-down.
In versus 7–10 he describes that hope is not in people, but our hope is in God.
Micah 7:7 says, But as for me.
Here it is Micah takes a spiritual turn: Everybody else may be acting wild—but as for me, I’m looking to God.
The world may be losing its mind, but I’m keeping my eyes on the One who never loses control. Culture might be drifting, people might be shifting, but my focus is fixed on God.
In fact, chaos can roar all it wants, but my confidence is anchored in the Lord.
He says: I will look to the Lord
I will wait for God to answer. My God will hear me
I might have to remind somebody this morning, that even in chaotic moments, faith still works. Prayer still works, and God is still listening.
Micah 7:8 say rejoice not over me, my enemy.
He is saying, don’t celebrate too soon. I may fall, but I will rise again. I may be in darkness now, but the Lord will be my light.
And somebody here ought to preach to whatever you are dealing with.
This is a comeback language.
This is restoration of faith.
May I tell you that this is what it sounds like when a believer refuses to stay down.
Micah admits Israel messed up. They sinned. They caused some of their own pain.
But he also declares:
That God will fight for me.
God will turn this case around.
God is stepping in for me.
He’s saying that God taking the battle out of my hands and flipping the outcome in my favor.
The Lord Himself is handling my situation.
He’s reopening the file, overruling the enemy verdict, and rewriting the verdict.
Let me shout by myself. God is my defender, and He’s about to shift the whole thing, what was against me, will NOW work for me.
The man of God teaches us in verse 10 that vindication is coming. What are you saying man of God. Micah says the enemies who mocked Israel will someday see God restore them, and they’ll be ashamed for doubting God’s power.
People who counted you out will have to watch God raise you up.
So, as we approach 11–13: we see that God is about to rebuild, but judgment has a purpose
Micah 7:11 says a day of building walls this isn’t about defense, but it’s about restoration.
You see walls in ancient Israel represented:
Security, structure, identity, unity, and protection, and God promises that there will be a day when boundaries and order will be restored. And may I tell somebody that God is rebuilding what life tried to tear down. I talking about your mind, your peace, your confidence, your relationships.
Expansion is coming: God says nations will come from Assyria to Egypt to Israel.
Meaning that: Not only will God rebuild, but He will expand their influence.
And when God restores, He doesn’t just repair, He increases.
Micah 7:13 teaches us that Judgment has consequences. The land will be desolate because of people’s rebellion. God isn’t hiding the truth: he’s telling us that sin damaged things.
In versus 14 Micah is showing us a prayer for shepherding and restoration.
Micah prays: Lord Shepherd Your people again. Feed them. Lead them. Care for them. Give them peace and prosperity like they once had. In other words: God, bring us back to the place where you used to walk with us.
So, everything in verses 1–14 sets the stage for verse 15: that God is about to do it again.
In verse 15 is God’s response to Micah’s plea for mercy: As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.
God reaches backward into history to declare He will move forward with victory. He tells Israel: What I did in your yesterday, I am fully capable of doing in your tomorrow.
God was saying: Look at what I did before and get ready, because I’m about to do that level of miracle again.
Somebody shout: The same God, will do it again. In other words, God is not trying to remind you where you’ve been. Instead, He’s trying to announce where you’re going.
God saying: Your past deliverance is the blueprint for your next one.
Because God specializes in repeat performances.
I have it on good authority that the nature of God is consistent. He does not evolve because He is already perfect.
His power doesn’t grow because it can’t get higher.
And His faithfulness never weakens because it has no limits.
So, If He healed before - He can heal again.
If He restored before- He can restore again.
If He opened doors before - He can open doors again.
If He made a way in the wilderness before - He can carve a path through your chaos again.
Israel often panicked in trouble because they forgot the Red Sea moments, the manna moments, the Jericho moments. But God says in Micah: Remember who I am.
And I want to speak this prophetically to someone: Your fear is not because your problem is big. It’s because your memory got short.
Your Last Miracle Was Just a Trailer. Question: Have you ever gone to the movies and seen the trailer that gets you excited for the full feature?
Well, your last breakthrough, that was just God's preview.
Your last healing was just a teaser.
Your last deliverance was just a sample.
Tell your neighbor that the main event is coming.
I have a question. Has He ever brought you out?
Did He ever pick you up when life knocked you down?
Did He ever answer a prayer you thought He forgot?
Then He’s the same God who will do it again.
I’m reminded of a story about a young boy who loved watching his grandmother bake. Every time she made her famous pound cake, she would let him sit and watch.
One day he asked, Grandma, how do you make it taste the same every time? She smiled and said, baby, it’s because the recipe never changes, but every time I make it, I put a little more love in it.
One day, years later, the grandmother passed away. The boy is now a grown man, and one day he quietly went into her kitchen, grieving. He opened her recipe book, flipped to the page with the pound cake, and read her handwritten note:
If life ever gets too hard for you just remember: the recipe still works.
God’s recipe still works.
His power still works.
His promises still works.
His miracles still works.
And every time He does it again…
He adds a little more grace, a little more mercy, a little more glory.
He is the same God, and He will do it again.
It doesn’t matter if you’re standing at the Red Sea in your life.
If you’re facing an enemy behind you, and an ocean before you.
If you feel judged, exhausted, or forgotten
Hear the word of the Lord through Micah:
As in the days when I brought you out of Egypt, I will show you marvelous things.
The Same God.
With the Same power.
Same faithfulness.
Same covenant.
Same glory.
And He will do it again.
