Day 77: December 8, 2025 – Micah 1-7

There are a couple of places in Micah that we find verses that we have used in the past. But the vast majority of it is the prophet complaining about the people of Israel to God. It is a stark reminder of what is happening in the land when God’s people disobey. The state of the land was such that the people of power were taking advantage of those who had no voice and making sure that they maintained their power.

The two verses that stick out are Micah 5:2 where we see the prediction of the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem. Appropriate for this time of year, and it was used by the seers of Herod to tell the wise men where they were supposed to go. We also see the very last verses in chapter 7 that seem to turn the tables from complaint to praise lifting up the faithfulness of God even in the midst of the unfaithfulness of the people.
