Micah

Today we finished the 3 day journey reading through Micah. Micah was a contemporary of Isaiah, so reading through the last 3 days felt like I was reading again through Isaiah. 2 weeks from today we will begin reading in the New Testament. This is a good chance to remind ourselves of the 4 points of the plot of the Bible; Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Creation took place in Genesis 1-2. The fall takes place in Genesis 3. Restoration finally takes place in Revelation 22. That means the rest of the Bible is dealing with the redemption factor. The part of the Bible could be showcasing and pointing toward the redemptive act of Jesus. The Bible could be telling of the redemptive act of Jesus itself. And finally the Bible could be showing us, as the redeemed people of Jesus, how to live in light of being a redeemed people. Micah chapter 6 gives a great summary verse for the redemptive part of Scripture. Micah 6:8 says, “And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” This verse can not only sum up in whole every message by every Propjet of God but also the entire desire of Jesus for His redeemed people that He paid for their freedom with His life. Do you love mercy, justice, and show humility in all things???
