Follow the connections
Chapters help us find our place, but an argument or story can continue across a chapter boundary. Look for a change, contrast, consequence, or repeated concern that joins today’s sections. Reading those connections can prevent an isolated line from carrying a meaning it does not have.
Justice, humility, and promised restoration
Micah confronts exploitation and corrupt leadership while offering hope for restoration. Religious offerings cannot substitute for just and faithful living. Read its promises alongside the concrete wrongs that the prophet names.
With Micah 3–6 in view: What practice of justice or faithfulness would answer the wrong described here?
Reflect on today’s passage
How does the end of the reading develop something introduced earlier?
One response
Record one connection between two parts of today’s reading.
Pray
Bring one observation, one question, and one need from today’s reading to God. Ask for understanding and wisdom to respond faithfully.
