Micah 1:1-16

God’s covenant people were stuck in a rut of their own making, having created their own institutions and religious practices rather than keeping their hearts focused on the living God.  In many ways, we today are also prone to do the same.  Yet Yahweh is the Lord of all creation and he will not not share his glory with created things, but will shake the whole earth.  Our appropriate response to this judgment is to wail and lament over our sin and pride, in humility and mourning.  This requires that our gaze remains fixed not on ourselves but upon the glory of our holy God, as we await the consummation of our redemption in Christ.
