SUMMARY OF MICAH 6-7
Micah 6
Micah reports the Lord’s case against Israel regarding their sins. God tells His people to remember all He has done for them since bringing them up out of Egypt and to the Promised Land. He tells them that they know what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly[a] with your God.
Micah 7
There will be a remnant of God’s people who will confess their sins. There will be misery because of their sins. However, Israel will rise again. God will restore them and care for them. He wants His people to do the same.

12a) God tells His people to remember all He has done for them since bringing them up out of Egypt and to the Promised Land. He tells them that they know what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly[a] with your God.
b) Hardened
13a)
“To act justly” To show justice to others and act justly.
“To love mercy” To show mercy to others and be happy to show mercy.
“To walk humbly with your God” To remember who God is and to walk humbly before Him.
b) I’d say in every aspect of my life. To be just, have mercy, walk humbly.
14) The Lord will bring His people back into the light despite their sins. No matter how much God’s people sin, He is infinitely merciful and loving. He will redeem His people. This offers me hope, too, that no matter how ‘bad’ I am, God still loves me.
15) All of it, really. God forgives, shows mercy, does not stay angry, has compassion, is faithful, shows love, and more. God is good in every way.

Micah 6
Israel is on trial before the Lord. God brings His case. God tells His people to remember all that He has done for them. Israel asks God what He wants from them in the sense that God wants too much from them.
God responds with 3 things he wants:
- Do Justly
- Love Mercy
- Walk Humbly With God
Pretty simple, God says.
God will judge Israel who is greedy and wicked.
Micah 7
Now, a remnant of God’s people will confess their sins. No one could trust anyone.
God’s people will be humbled and then restored. God will care for them, and all the nations will be brought low.
God offers forgiveness and delights in showing mercy to His people. He will have compassion on all of His people. God wants everyone to do the same.
