Today we are reading Micah 3. In this chapter we read how the prophet denounced the leaders of Israel. “Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who detest justice and make crooked all that is straight, who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity. Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the Lord and say, “Is not the Lord in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us.” Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height.” Micah 3:9-12 ESV The leaders of Israel were corrupt heartless. The abused the people that God had given to care for. Now in their time of trouble they are held accountable by God. We need to pray for our leaders with the heavy responsibilities they have right now. May God teach you to love and care for our leaders. Pastor Tim
