Micah painted a very dark picture of society in his day: the rulers demanded gifts, the judges accepted bribes, and the powerful dictated what they desired. On top of that he observed a blatant disrespect for God, the family unity, and the dignity of life and living. The same is true of society today. Although Micah warned the people of what was to come, he closed with a great sense of hope that God will not abandon His people. History shows this was true for the people in Micah's day. How much more for us who continue to trust God, who refuse to lessen our ways with Him? Micah 7:1-13. VF-2345. Disc 8 in the Micah series.
