Micah as a book isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. His message was at time devastating, and he pulled no punches when exposing the sins of Israel. However, there are reminders of current and future hope throughout. The books ends on this note in Micah 7:18-20, and it has been an incredible encouragement to me today -

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity

and passing over transgression

for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not retain his anger forever,

because he delights in steadfast love.

He will again have compassion on us;

he will tread our iniquities under foot.

You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

You will show faithfulness to Jacob

and steadfast love to Abraham,

as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
