I’m this chapter Micah prophesies to the leaders of Israel who are corrupt. This was both governmental and spiritual. He called them out on the things they were doing. He shared what God was about to do to discipline them.

Micah starts out speaking about how bad it is that even family turn against each other. But he turns his eyes to God who will protect and provide after He has discipline His people. God will have compassion on His people because of His love for them.

Principles: place your trust in God even when everything and everyone else is not faithful.
