I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

So, leading up to our anniversary, I wished my wife happy anniversary for 20 days culminating on our anniversary yesterday.  I was tempted to continue for 20 more days, but decided not to do so.  However, since I am writing these a few days in advance, I am going to thank my wife on here every day until I am writing on the day after our anniversary

Thank you for marrying me. Darling!

Today, I am reading and commenting on Micah 3-7.

Micah continues his prophecy against those who have positions of leadership, religious and secular and those who have become wealthy through dishonesty, violence, and extortion.  He condemns the government officials whose rules and regulations serve only those who bribe them, the preachers and teachers who only provide their services to those who pay them, and then tell them what they want to hear rather than teach God’s word.  I read Micah’s condemnation of these people and see it happening again today.  God will bring His judgement down on those who twist justice and hate what is good.  Yet, for all of the fact that humans keep doing these same things, Micah prophesies that the day will come when God will call all nations to Him.  In that day, God will mediate between nations and peoples.  He will bring peace to the earth so that no one will train for war anymore.  For all the terribleness we see in the world around us, God promises that one day He will bring about peace, prosperity, and justice.  We need not fear the terrible times which come first if we put our faith in God.
