In Micah chapter 3 the prophet first addresses the corrupt governing leaders of Israel who had misused their power for their own benefit. Secondly, Micah rebukes the religious leaders of Israel who were not rebuking or correct the people for their disobedience. Micah models the power of a just and true prophet who relies on the power of God to lead. Why should we care? Because we each have power and influence, we can either use that power and influence for good or evil. We can either commit injustices with the authority God has given us or we can act just and true. Either way, we must answer to God for those deeds."}
