In the time of Micah it was the farmers who suffered much. Their produce was brought for a pittance then sold for maximum profit. Today it is the price of a barrel of oil. Petrol, sugar and flour are the mainstays of the economy in which we live. The prices of these three govern just about everything else we need to sustain life.

What about wages? Can the working man who is the equivalent of the biblical farmer survive? How about those at the bottom of our food chain. The humble beneficiary. Does God hear their cries for a better deal? Yes he does. And as He answered prayers of the suffering back then God is still able to do that today.

But before God can act in our situation He wants to work in our lives first. Yes that means me and you. Trusting God has always been hard but it is possible. Micah has been used by God to even show us what is good and what is required.
