Micah 1-2

“Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth” (3). The prophet Micah warned Israel (the north) and Judah (the south) that God would not ignore their sins; He was coming to judge both capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem. They had forsaken God to worship idols (1:7), and their greed had caused them to steal houses and land (2:2,9). When godly prophets like Micah spoke up, people turned away to listen to those who falsely promised blessings (2:11).

“I will surely gather all of you ... like a flock” (2:12). God calls us to reject the idolatries of money and self and to trust our Shepherd. His voice is the one we obey.
