Daily Bible Reading – October 2021: God’s Word of JusticeMuestra

October 25

Introduction

Micah describes the punishment that will be meted out to those who abuse their power. The chapter concludes with a promise of hope for those who survive.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Micah 2:1-13

Today’s Key Verse: Micah 2:13

God will open the way for them and lead them out of exile. They will break out of the city gates and go free. Their king, the LORD himself, will lead them out.

Reflect

What is Micah’s warning to those who plan evil? Reread verses 6 and 7. Why do those who are committing evil take issue with Micah’s words? What kind of prophet do they want (verse 11)? What is the reaction to prophetic voices in our society today? What message of hope does Micah deliver (verses 12 and 13)?

Pray

Lord God, like a shepherd You gather us into Your fold. In the security of Your love I find peace and rest. Lead me, Lord, in the way of Your justice and truth. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
