What does it say?
Although no godly people remained in Israel, Micah confessed their sin, accepted the Lord’s punishment, and praised God’s mercy and compassion.
What does it mean?
Jewish society had become as depraved as it could get and suffered the consequences of turning away from the Lord. Micah was certain that God would be faithful to His promise to rescue and restore Israel, but he also recognized that His discipline was necessary to deal with the people’s sins. The prophet acknowledged the nation’s guilt, expressing sorrow over their sinful state. God’s Spirit-filled Micah with comfort and hope, assuring him that God would be faithful to forgive. Micah fittingly closed his book by marveling at God’s unfailing, compassionate, long-suffering love for His undeserving people.
How should I respond?
Godly sorrow over sin is becoming rare in our society, even among Christians. No matter how far you have wandered from God, He patiently waits to restore you to a close relationship with Him. The first step is to acknowledge the wrongdoing before God. You can have unwavering confidence that if you confess your sins, our merciful, compassionate God is faithful to forgive (1 John 1:9). What consequence of sin is evidence that you’ve strayed from the Lord in some area of your life? There is comfort and hope – Jesus can be trusted to keep His promise. He forgives!

Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).
