The LORD sees those whose covetous thoughts hatch into plots of theft, and He devises their destruction, from which they will not be able to escape. Many of Micah’s hearers refuse to believe that the LORD who is among them could do such a thing to Israel, but Micah’s proclamation of woe against Israel is true. The false preachers, as beloved as they may be, only hide the true disaster that will come. Yet the LORD promises mercy, for He will gather His remnant and reign over them as their true King. This text calls us to examine our hearts for greed, so that we would repent, trust in the LORD, and seek to be generous with our neighbor. Rev. Levi Willms, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Micah 2:1-13. To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitysr.org.“Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
