SCRIPTURE

"O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me." — Micah 6:3 (ASV)

O my people, what have I done unto thee?

"What but good, what but mercy, have I done to you?"

And wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against me.

He asks them to give any reason whatever why they had turned away from him. Beloved friends, have any of you, who are the people of God, grown cold in your love to him? Are you neglecting the service of the Most High? Are you beginning to trust in an arm of flesh? Are you seeking your pleasures in the world? Have you lost the love of your espousal, your first love to your blessed Lord?

Then hear him plead with you. Be not as Israel was, but let the Lord speak to you rather than to the hills: What have I done unto thee? And wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against me.

O Lord, we have nothing to testify against you! We have very much to testify for you; and we blush to think that we have not done so more often. Oh, that we had felt more love to you, and had borne a bolder and more consistent testimony to your love, your grace, your faithfulness!
