Micah 3:3&4
In these next two verses we see more of the same from Micah. He is still banging on about the leaders and teachers. They are using their positions of power for selfish gains.
They had no respect or compassion for those they should really have been serving.
They mistreated people in order to satisfy their own desires and then had the cheek to turn around and ask God for help when they found themselves in trouble.
This "one rule for one, one rule for another" attitude reminds me of the story in the bible of the guy who owes a king crap-loads of money (and has no way of paying him back!), but the king has pity on him and cancels the debt. Then that same guy goes up to one of his mates and threatens him for a couple of quid!
We can also fall into the trap of only calling on God when we need something.
It seems that only in times of trouble do people turn towards prayer.
This is wrong. God shouldnt be treated like a lightswitch, only being turned on when we need Him, we should always rely on Him.
Love you x
