The Case God Has Against His People. Micah 6:1-13 [The Courtroom Scene]Are We What We Appear?Micah was a prophet during the time of Isaiah and King Hezekiah. These were deceptive times in Israel. The people were very devoted to religious ceremony and traditions, but their lives apart from Temple worship told a much different story, (greed, indulgence, and idolatry).
Outwardly they were religious and upright, but inwardly they were rebellious and undone. The object of religion took precedence over obedience and genuine worship.The people appeared to be in pretty good standing with the Lord, but they were far from God. Things are not always as they appear. Often familiarity brings complacency. I hope that we haven’t become so familiar with the mechanics of worship that we’ve left God out.I want to draw closer to Him in these days. I trust you’ve considered your relationship with the Lord. Is it what it should be? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? He stands ready to meet either need.Are We What We Appear?
