All over the world, 1 in 8 people go to bed hungry every night, even though there is enough food for everyone. In this reading plan, international aid agency Tearfund and theologian Ruth Valerio help us reflect biblically on hunger and how we think about food, as well as how we can take action for our brothers and sisters around the world.

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).

This plan strengthens our faith and is part of a larger journey. It helps us understand God's intervention, which is essential to free us from sin and evil, both personal and social. God's intervention is seen in human history and each of us, expressing His love and offering escape from suffering. We are called to recognize this salvation and embark on a journey of faith, experiencing His grace and love, and discovering a renewed life filled with light, hope, and joy.
