Micah 1 & 2 -- A Message That Fell On Deaf Ears

God had given Micah a message to deliver, and the people weren’t going to like it.  God was about to do something about their idolatry.  The northern capital would become a pile of ruins.  Jerusalem wasn’t going to fare much better.

The message caused Micah great personal sadness, because he knew it signaled the end of his country as he knew it.

The real problem was that Micah was delivering the message to an audience who could care less.  His message would fall on deaf ears at the time, but later Israel and the world would be able to look back and see that God did what He promised.  And hopefully they’d learn to heed God the next time.

It certainly seems like we’re on the edge of the abyss right now economically.  Spiritually our national culture appears to be far from God.  Will we listen to Micah’s words and see that they apply to us as well?  Will we turn America around and move our nation back to the principles on which it was founded – one nation under God?

Father, Micah’s words (and Yours) still shout out to us today.  Please open ears and eyes and hearts and minds.  Show us that it’s Your way or the highway.  Turn America around.

Your Brother In Christ,
