Scripture/Text: Micah 2:12-3:12; After declaring a first round of judgments, Micah closes chapter 2 with the assurance that God, in his mercy, promises to gather, restore, and lead the faithful out of captivity (Micah 2.12-13). In the next round of judgments (Micah 3.1-12), he reminds us of the severe consequences of corrupt leadership and false prophecy. We learn that those who lead, those in authority, and individuals as well, are to uphold justice and truth, and remember their responsibility to God and humanity. The light in the dark is that God sees, God judges, and ultimately, God will restore justice.
