Micah

Interesting study today, the book of Micah...

A little about Micah...

Micah, called from his rustic home to be a prophet, leaves his familiar surroundings to deliver a stern message of judgement to the princes and people of Jerusalem. Burdened by the abusive treatment of the poor by the rich and influential, the prophet turns his verbal rebukes upon any who would use their social or political power for personal gain. One-third of Micah's book exposes the sins of his countrymen; another third pictures the punishment God is about to send; and the final third holds out the hope of restoration once that discipline has ended. Through it all, God's righteous demands upon His people are clear: "to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God" (6:8).

There it is, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
