Micah: Judgment and Restoration of Judah


1.  The LORD requires us to do justly (6:8; Genesis 18:19; Proverbs 21:3; Amos 5:24; Luke 11:42).

2.  The LORD requires us to love mercy (6:8; Matthew 5:7; 18:32-35; Luke 6:36).

3.  The LORD requires us to walk humbly with Him (6:8; Genesis 5:22-24; 2 Chronicles 33:12-13; Isaiah 57:15; 66:2; Matthew 5:3; Luke 18:13-14; James 4:6-10; 1 Peter 5:5-6).

4.  There is not a God like Jehovah (7:18; Luke 15:20; Acts 3:19; Acts 10:43; 2 Corinthians 1:3; Ephesians 2:5; Titus 3:5; James 5:11).

5.  We must look to Jehovah, wait for the God of our salvation, trusting Him to hear (7:7; Psalm 34:5-6; Psalm 27:13-14; Psalm 50:15; Psalm 65:2; Philippians 4:19; James 5:8).

Conclusion:  Read Micah and catch a glimpse of God’s anger in action as He judges and punishes sin, see God’s love in action as He offers eternal life to all who repent and believe, and determine to join the faithful remnant of God’s people who live according to His will.
