Charles Spurgeon Commentary Micah 6:4

"For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam." — Micah 6:4 (ASV)

God constantly refers to Israel's coming out of Egypt; on every great occasion he begins, "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."

And to his people the Lord still says, "I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of slavery." Is it not so? Do we not still delight in his redeeming work, in the sprinkling of the blood of the Paschal Lamb, and in the high hand and outstretched arm with which the Lord delivered us from the bondage of our sin? Remember that you also were a slave; forget not who bought you, and with what price; remember who delivered you, and led you out, and with what mighty power.

Remember this, and let your cold love burn up again, and let your indifference turn to enthusiasm. O Lord, revive your people!

The Lord further says to his people, "I sent before thee Moses (the lawgiver), Aaron (the priest), and Miriam (the prophetess);" one to teach you, another to plead for you, and to sacrifice for you, and the third to sing for you, to sing your song of gladness at the Red Sea.

God has given to his people many ministries in diverse forms; and they are all concentrated in his Son, who is everything to us. Oh, by the greatness of his gifts to us, let us come back to our former love to him, and to something more than that!
