Last week, we considered Jonah. He longed for justice for his nation’s enemies, but overlooked God’s love and mercy.

This week we move on to another OT prophet, Micah. His message was to those who abused their power — political or religious — for their own personal benefit. This resulted in injustice.



The message that Micah brought to the leaders is summed up in the 8th verse of chapter 6:

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

A good message for us today.
