We read Micah 1–3 and trace how God’s justice and mercy move together: sharp words against exploitation, clear warnings to leaders and prophets, and a stubborn promise to gather a remnant. We reflect on selective hearing, prosperity without obedience, and how to align our hearts with God’s.

• the Twelve as a single arc of judgment and hope
• Micah’s context in Judah with messages for Israel and Judah
• vivid warnings against idolatry and injustice in named cities
• condemnation of land theft, exploitation, and rigged courts
• critique of profit-driven prophets and paid rulings
• promise of a remnant and a Shepherd-King who leads out
• practicing repentance before relief and comfort
• discerning truth from flattering lies and easy optimism
