Micah 1:1-7:20
Background:
Micah’s ministry spanned several reigns of kings, including Jotham and Hezekiah. As Micah was prophesying, so were Isaiah, Hosea, and Amos. As you read this book, picture a courtroom with Micah as a lawyer, arguing his case regarding the many charges Judah and Israel are facing. They have offended God and others. They take advantage of the poor, are power hungry and greedy, and have forsaken God by listening to false prophets. God empowers Micah to point out their many crimes before His justice is carried out.
Memory Verse:
“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.” (Micah 6:8, NIV)
