Plead Your Case Before the Mountains

Scripture: Micah 6: 1-3

Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.  Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.  O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

Commentary: The people built pagan altars in the mountains

God called to the mountains to confirm the people’s guilt. The mountains would serve as excellent witnesses, for it was in the high places that the people had built pagan altars and had sacrificed to false gods.

Can you say God has done something wrong? Can you say you have done no wrong?

God has been patient with you, as he had been patient with the people. He always loves and guides you, providing every opportunity to return to him.

Do not be like the people in Micah’s day. They forgot the covenant and its benefits. They turned away from God. God continued to be kind to these forgetful people, but their memory made them forget his kindness.

Do not forget God’s mercy. Turn to him.
