First Reading
Micah 7:14-15, 18-20
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
14Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your gift, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
15According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt I will show him wonders.
18Who is a God like to you, who takest away sin, and passest by the sin of the remnant of your gift? he will send his fury in no more, because he delights in mercy.
19He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our sins: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
20You will perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
