And Micah ordained the Levite, and the
young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Then Micah
said, “Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, because I have a Levite
as priest.”
Lord God, please help me to not ordain people and things in my life
to be my way to You, keep me from giving a home to anything – anything
which ignorantly or rebelliously – sets itself up (oh You forbid, that I
would empower the poser) to be my religion, my “faith” … as I recognize
the despicable
spirit behind such acts. LORD God Almighty, please keep my expectations on You and Your words and not on anything I may do or not.
And as this passage screams at me: Micah ordained his own priest,
who welcomed this man in his own house, who paid compensation according
to his own contract, who expected You to prosper his own self because he
had acquired his own Levite. Micah is the god, he defined the way to
You and established his own religious protocols – ignoring Your
well-established words. YIKES, my Lord, please keep me from this
abominable insanity. You, Jesus, are the only way.. You set up and
depose kings as You please, You planned the Cross, You executed the
Cross, You triumphed at the Cross and You give this to me. I thank You.
You have already prospered me. I praise You.
