Micah 6:4

The Bible has a lot to say about restitution. Restitution is about more than recompensation for a wrong, but also restoration, redemption, and salvation. This 5-day plan will help readers gain a biblical understanding and perspective of restitution, apply it to their lives, and prepare them to share this learning with others.

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).

The Women We've Been Waiting For weaves together Scripture, liturgies, and stories of historical figures to show women that caring for themselves is the first step toward renewing their own souls and tackling the social problems they care most about. Each devotion invites readers to learn from women who have managed tension, survived the seemingly impossible, and embodied a resilient faith.

This reading plan examines three different kinds of literature within Old Testament prophecy: historical narratives, communication with God and communication with people.
