Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Peace And Justice

DAY 30 OF 31

  

October 30

Introduction

Today’s reading is a shift from the promise of future restoration, as described in chapters 4 and 5, back to the current situation. Israel is called upon to defend itself, and the LORD acts as prosecutor. The LORD reminds the people what he requires and that those who engage in dishonest business practices and exploit the poor will be punished.

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:8

The LORD has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.

Today’s Reading 

Micah 6:1-16

Reflect

How does the LORD begin the case against Israel (verse 3)? Of what does the LORD remind the people (verses 4 and 5)? Have you ever forgotten the ways in which God has blessed you? Reread verses 6-8. What does God require in order to restore a broken relationship with him? 

Pray

Lord God, help me to do what you require of me: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with you. Trusting in your steadfast love and mercy, I pray in your holy name. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Court-appointed legal defenders

Tomorrow’s Reading

Micah 7:1-20: Micah laments the moral corruption of the people.
