What does God want?  We are beckoned not to ask as if we have not already been told over and again.  3 things Yahweh requires:  Do justice, Love mercy, walk humbly with God. Are you coming to God with questions like a spoiled brat?  Does it seem like you can never "do enough?"  Good news, these are not new questions and the answers stand firm.

Step into the courtroom as God testifies on His own behalf.  The cause for judgment stands.  From Balak to Balaam, from Shittim to Gilgal, God testifies of his faithfulness to His people.

Do you feel safe?  What are you trusting? Where's your faith?

Most people aren't happy.  Even Christians wonder if they'll ever be truly happy.  But God is concerned with the happiness of His children and in Matthew 5,  Jesus preaches a sermon on how to be truly happy.

Last Days Prophecy as foretold by the prophet Micah in chapter 4.  Today, as we study the Scriptures we will uncover some truths about the physical location of Israel, her people and the kingdom that will be established there.

Loyalty to God VS Loyalty to the preacher can often appear, at surface level to be synonymous.  In Micah 3,  the prophet demonstrates what sets a true minister from God apart from a false teacher of the people.  Israel though rituals would save them, but God lists His indictment against the leaders and teachers of the day.  

Numbers 6's "The Lord make His face to shine upon you" contrasted with Micah 3 where God hides his face from the cry of the people is so stark that we must ask, "when or why would God ever hide his face?"   Also in Micah 3,  we'll see the difference between shepherds and butchers when it comes to leading sheep.  Journal Questions:  1.  What is your function and how does your faith impact that? 2. What/Who are you sacrificing FOR? 3. What are you asking God FOR?

Gospel preaching is not all bad news, nor is it all good news.  False teaching happens when one only presents half of the truth.  In Micah 2:12-13, we'll discover the purpose for prophecy, Micah's message of hope,  the Millennial fulfillment and a most unique Messianic title.

How do false prophets operate? Who are you listening to? And when is it time to question God?  All this, and more as we study the Scriptures in Micah 2.   Open your Bible...
