Friday Faithfuls Two: Micah

 Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi  

Micah.  A prophet in the last years of the northern kingdom of Israel, he has much to say about judgment.  But he also has much to say about restoration.  

There are a lot of nuggets to be found in Micah; and the response to almost all of them is, 'Oh, I didn't know that was in Micah!'

Have a go at it, if you've never read it all the way through.  It's only seven chapters long.

And there's a sermon in this simple verse:

He has shown you, O man, what is good.  And what does the LORD require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and walk humbly with your God.  -- Micah 6:8, NIV 84

So simple.  So complicated, because HE decides what is just, and we are to walk with HIM, not the other way 'round.
