October 11
Introduction
Micah describes the LORD’s universal reign of peace and a time when the people of Israel will return from exile. Jerusalem will be rebuilt after a time of punishment.
Scripture Reading
Micah 4:1—5:1
Today’s Key Verse: Micah 4:5b
We will worship and obey the LORD our God forever and ever.
Reflect
Today’s reading begins with an image of a high mountain on which the Temple stands. It contrasts with the concluding verse in the previous chapter where the Temple mount has been reduced to a forest (3:12). How does Micah describe worship in Jerusalem and God’s reign of peace (verses 1‒4)? What promise is given to those who have been living in exile (verses 6 and 7)? What message of hope can you proclaim today?
Pray
God of justice and peace, we pray for an end to warfare and for your reign of peace. Teach us to walk in the paths you have chosen and to worship and obey you. Thank you for new beginnings and the hope we find in you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Micah 5:2‒15: God promises to appoint a ruler from Bethlehem.
