Micah 2:6-7

In good times and in bad we need to listen closely to that still, small voice inside. He is our lifeline. Holy Spirit will never leave us unprotected or without guidance.


Christ within the hope of glory!


Joy in Him is our strength.


Micah 2:6-7

6 “Do not prattle,” you say to those who prophesy.

So they shall not prophesy to you;

They shall not return insult for insult.

7 You who are named the house of Jacob:

“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?

Are these His doings?

Do not My words do good

To him who walks uprightly?


The false prophets of the land were encouraging Micah not to prophesy such harsh words. Isaiah encountered the same type of antagonism at this time. The false prophets claimed Yahweh would not send judgment on Israel. The false prophets were questioning whether Yahweh had grown impatient. The false prophets were questioning whether these deeds were the deeds of Yahweh.


Micah reminds the nation that the words of the true prophets of God benefit the righteous. Faithlife Bible.


These words may have been a strong warning to Micah not to be like the lying prophets who counseled that all was well in the land. The words of God were different from the words of the lying prophets. The words of God bring good to the righteous even as they bring judgment against the wicked. NKJ Bible.


Psalm 15:2  He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;


Psalm 84:11  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.


Psalm 119:68  You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes.


Psalm 119:116  Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope.
