Micah 6:8
What happens when a society forgets God’s commands? The story of the Levite and his concubine in Judges 19 is unsettling. It’s not just a recounting of personal betrayal and violence—it’s a mirror reflecting what happens when people abandon God’s standards. Without the guidance of truth and justice, even God’s people can lose their moral compass. The Levite’s actions, the silence of the townspeople, and the nation’s apathy all speak to a deeper spiritual crisis. In our world today, we still see moments when justice is ignored, and compassion grows cold. But Micah 6:8 reminds us of God’s desire: that we act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. This calling isn’t just personal—it’s communal. We’re invited to be voices for the voiceless, defenders of the vulnerable, and examples of righteousness. Let God’s justice be your guide, and may your life reflect His mercy each day.
