This week we read three sections from the book of Micah: 1:1-5, 5:2-5a, and perhaps most famous among them, 6:6-8. These texts start us with image of God’s presence that is virtually liquifying in its power and its anger. How did we get here? When Micah’s hopes seem to refer to Davidic lineage – is he imagining a leader for the near future, for an eschatological future, or ... is he wishing he could go back, turn back the clock and correct course before the whole notion of kingship went so awry? Now that it has gone as it has gone, what can your average Joe do? The rabbis teach that those famous 3 verses in Micah 6 are the most succinct summary we have of all the commandments, so let’s really dig into those deep. We will need that solid ground in turbulent times.
