"All
this is for the rebellion of Jacob and for the sins of the house of
Israel. What is the rebellion of
Jacob? Is it not Samaria? What is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem? For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in
the open country, planting places for a vineyard. I will pour her stones down into the valley
and will lay bare her foundations.
"All
of her idols will be smashed, all of her earnings will be burned with fire, and
all of her images I will make desolate, for she collected them from a harlot's
earnings, and to the earnings of a harlot they will return."
Micah 1:5--7
There are two sins identified in Micah's message: the perversion of worship and injustice
toward others. These two attitudes toward
God and His people infiltrated and infected the entire country, replacing His principles
with more "appealing" principles of their own making.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
