Please read Micah 1.
www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/mic/1/1/s_894001
Meditate on verses 2-3.
Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth and all it contains, and
let the LORD God be a witness against you, the LORD from His holy temple. For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His
place. He will come down and tread on
the high places of the earth.
The
book of Micah is addressed not only
to Kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah
and the people of Samaria and
Jerusalem; it is addressed to you (vs. 1-3). Therefore, as you read, ask the Holy Spirit
to give you ears to hear and a heart to repent concerning what God says in this book.
Notice
Micah’s grief over the spread of sin. Worship on the high places spread from
the northern kingdom, whose capital was Samaria, to the southern kingdom, whose
capital was Jerusalem (vs. 5-9).
What sin has reached the gate of your people (v. 9)? These can be generational sins passed down through your family for
years: laziness, drunkenness, pornography,
pride, anger, negligence, and unfaithfulness.
Recognize them;
confess them; ask God to miraculously cure the incurable wounds the sins have inflicted
on your loved ones; be so grieved by sin and its consequences that you
determine by the strength of God to
stop sinning. Beg God to stop the spread of sin sickness!
Use
the words from Micah 1:9 to appeal to the LORD as a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“O LORD, ____________ and my wounds are incurable,
for sin has come to my family!
It has reached the gate of my people.
O LORD, stop its spread!
Keep us from sinning;
miraculously cure us!
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
