    On Sunday we continued along inour Micah series, looking at 6:1-8. Inthis lawsuit dialogue, the Lord tries to see what caused the breakdown with their covenant. The people offer many things to set things right, all which miss the point. Micah famously then says what God truly wants is us to practice justice, promote hesed love and walk humbly with Him.

This is a theme picked up by Matthew as he writes about the birth of Christ.We as humans often think God only shows up in the mighty and the powerful, but the path of Jesus is one marked by simplicity, humility and welcoming in the least.
