Key Verse: Micah 6:8 – “He has shownyou, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To actjustly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Welcome back to The Prophet Series!Last time, we explored Jonah’s journey as the reluctant prophet and God’scompassion for all people. Today, we turn to the prophet Micah, whose messageis challenging and inspiring.  Micah lived in a time of greatinjustice, where corruption, greed, and exploitation were rampant. God calledhim to speak out against these wrongs and remind His people of what trulymatters: justice, mercy, and humility before God.  Micah’s words are as relevant today asthey were centuries ago. His call to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly”invites us to align our lives with God’s heart in a world often marked bydivision and self-interest.Let’s dive into Micah’s story andexplore what it means to live out these powerful principles.  Micah was a prophet from the smalltown of Moresheth in Judah, located southwest of Jerusalem. His ministry tookplace during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, a time of significantpolitical and social upheaval.  While the wealthy elite in both Israeland Judah lived in luxury, the poor were often oppressed and exploited. Leaderswere corrupt, and even religious practices had become hollow and hypocritical.  Micah was deeply disturbed by theinjustice he witnessed. His prophecies denounced the sins of the people,particularly those in positions of power. Yet, his message wasn’t just aboutjudgment—it also contained a beautiful vision of hope and restoration,including the famous prophecy of the Messiah’s birthplace in Bethlehem (Micah5:2).  Micah’s words challenge us to examinehow we live and whether our actions reflect God’s priorities.
