Publisher's Synopsis
Micah 6:1-8 exposes a people who had lost their heart for God. Despite all that God had done for them, His ways had become wearisome. They no longer understood God or His heart for them. Speaking through His servant Micah, the Lord instructs His people in His purpose for their lives.
Micah reveals the false notions his people had about God and His requirements. God's people spoke of burnt offerings, rivers of oil and firstborn sacrifices. God pointed them to justice, kindness and humility. Israel focused on religious duty and painful obligations, but God showed them the way of compassion and willing surrender. Ultimately, God demands nothing He is not first willing to offer in even greater abundance through His Son Jesus Christ -justice, kindness and true humility.
