Micah had a tough job. The prophet that lived in the time of Isaiah warned the people in the land at the time that God was not pleased with their behavior.

 

He was not exactly a popular guy! He told them that the rituals they performed did not bring them closer to God.

 

Micah 6:8 says, “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

 

In Micah’s time, foreign enemies did a lot of damage, but the message the prophet brought was that the Savior was coming one day. It was a message that resonates in our own day.

 

Tough times are not fun. Sometimes it feels like life is crushing us.

 

But Jesus is coming! He is with you in this life and the life to come. The prophets were sure of it. We can be, too!

 

Let’s pray. Lord, your will is where we want to be. Help us stay in line with your best outcomes for us. Amen.
