Having quiet time lead me to study Micah

Two posts ago, I mentioned that I needed to go and spend some time with God. And I did. I went to my spot, the big pile rock where I feel like I am in God's territory. Where I need to be real in front of him. Have honest hour with him. 

Yesterday morning, I spent time reading some psalms, proverbs, and a few verses of Acts. I didn't feel like I had direction in what I was to read. 

Then I spent a good hour of my work day looking at those verse word art images, thinking about surrounding my life with more scripture. 

Like this:

And there were a lot from the book of Micah-- and not just Micah 6:6-8.

 Micah who knows anything about that??? The only thing I know about Micah is that conservative Christians name their children "Micah" that's it, outside of Micah 6:6-8

So I started reading the book. I have no clue what it is saying. So I listened to a sermon on it. Hoping it would help me in the process of understanding it.  

Most of it is still a mystery. But I have learn so far it is about a people group who very very slowly lost their loyalty to The Lord, and let their lives be influence by false teachers, who only told them the that good things were to happen. Because people proclaiming good things get more attention and popularity than than bad news prophets. Micah is a lot about calling these false prophets and calling out the people who are living really fake Christian lives. 

I'm not to the end of the book. I haven't figured out all that The Lord wants me to get out of Micah. But I have been challenged in my faith. I have seen how quickly we can justify what we are doing and go down a slippery slope and be falsely following The Lord. 

It's been really good for me to hear. Excited to continue my Micah journey.
