Read Micah chapter 7 VERSE: Micah 7:7–But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. TRUTH: These two words are so difficult to do: watch and wait. We must be diligently watching for God. Our hope is in Him and no other. He is the One with the words of life and He is the hope of our salvation. Are we diligently watching for Him. Second, are we waiting for Him. This has never been easy, but even less so in this culture of need-it-now that we currently have. Are we willing to wait on Him simply…

Read Micah chapter 6 VERSE: Micah 6:8–He has shown you, O mortal, 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. TRUTH: God doesn’t want us to be ignorant of the good things in this world. He has taken the time to show us what is good. We are to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. We know what He requires of us. The question is, are we doing these things? Since this isn’t really a to-do list, we can easily get distracted from all that we should be doing and…

Read Micah chapter 5 VERSE: Micah 5:13–I will destroy your idols and your sacred stones from among you; you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands. TRUTH: The fact that the Bible says “no longer bow down” implies that the people were actually bowing down to these man-made idols. They had created something and then were worshipping it like it was a creator instead. While we may not have set up a carved image that we bow down to, we often will bow down to the things that we have done or accomplished with our own hands. We see so many people who are bowing down…

Read Micah chapter 4 VERSE: Micah 4:2–Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. TRUTH: The Lord has a desire to reach everyone. All the nations are loved by him and all the peoples are His creations. He desires to see everyone come to a saving relationship with Him. Here we see God’s heart and desire for all the nations to come to worship Him.…

Read Micah chapter 2 VERSE: Micah 2:13–“The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.” TRUTH: The prophet here is telling of the coming Messiah who will lead the way to deliverance for the people. Thankfully, Jesus Christ has come and He has led the way of deliverance for all of us who will believe and follow Him. No matter what we are experiencing, Jesus is leading the way. He walks through everything first. There is nothing that we are experiencing that He has not already…

Read Micah chapter 1 VERSE: Micah 1:3–“Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth.” TRUTH: Micah is beginning his prophecy by explaining that the Lord is the One who is coming. Micah wants them to know that he doesn’t have any right or room to judge the people, but the One who does have that right is coming. When God comes, He must first come in judgment as He has seen the horrible sin that we have done and for those who have not repented and begged His mercy and salvation through Jesus Christ, that time will be…
