Micah speaks to those ‘who hate good and love evil’ (Micah 3:2). He calls upon them to change their way of living. He calls upon them to worship the Lord - ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord’ (Micah 4:2).He calls upon them to walk with the Lord - ‘We will walk in the Name of the Lord our God for ever and ever’ (Micah 4:5). How do we learn to ‘walk in His paths’? - We come to His ‘House’.We worship the Lord in His House.We listen to His ‘Word’.We pray that His Word will come to us ‘with power’.We ask Him to ‘teach us His ways’.We pray that we will be ‘filled with the Spirit of the Lord’ (Micah 3:8). Gathered in His House for worship, we ‘receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us’. Through His power, we are equipped for witness: ‘you will be My witnesses...’ (Acts 1:8).
