Let us not forget, the second part of this statement. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.




Father God, you have created all things and provide all things. We humble ourselves before you, and ask that you forgive us for our sins, and ask that you provide us with our needs, that we might praise your name, and that we might share our abundance with our brothers and sisters, who are in need, so that they to, might praise your name, and humble themselves before the One True God, through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Noted from John MacArthur Study Bible
7:1–6 Micah lamented the circumstances of his day. In his vain search for an upright person
(cf. v. 2), he compared himself to the vinedresser who enters his vineyard late in the season and finds no fruit. The leaders conspired together to get what they wanted
(v. 3). No one could be trusted
(vv. 5, 6). Christ used v. 6 as an illustration when He commissioned the twelve (Mt 10:1, 35, 36). ‡
7:1 Woe is me! Micah sounded like Isaiah (cf. Is 6:5). †
7:7 In spite of his dire circumstances, Micah, as a watchman (cf. v. 4), would intently look for evidence of God’s working, trusting God to act in His own time and way (cf. Hab 3:16–19).

“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 NASB1995
