Micah 6:1-16
What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Listen! The Lord is calling to the city- and to fear your name is wisdom - “Heed the rod and the One who appointed it.”
Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights? Her rich men are violent; her people are liars and their tongues speak deceitfully.
Therefore, I have begun to destroy you, to ruin you because of your sins.
God set out his case, lays his charges, against his people. Don’t they know what pleases him? It is so plain, so simple. There can be no substitute for love and loyalty and fair dealing. Though they may try to buy him off with extravagant offerings and impressive gifts. God sees his people’s dishonesty, the false scales that he hates because they cheat the helpless. And he will punish sharp practice, violence and deceit.
Why?
For Israelite did so many unjust things, cheating, violent, worship gods, etc. They forgot what God has set them free from Egypt and came to the promised land. So God casted them down, destroy them for their sins.
What we have to do: To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
The Lord asked them many questions, which explained the reason God will punish his people for their sins. God can destroy them without cause, but God let them know why? It it the love of the Lord either.
How?
Fear the Lord there is lack nothing, obey God’s word and go with the Lord is blessing in my life.
