Zeroing in on the Guilty (2 of 7)
Series: Micah

Micah 2
It was July 7, 1987. One of my favorite baseball players of all time, Andre ‘‘The Hawk’’ Dawson, took a fastball to the face. ‘‘The Hawk’’ had hit a homerun in San Diego against pitcher Eric Show and knocked him out of the game. Now, back in Chicago, in his first at bat, Dawson hits another homerun off Show. The next at bat, Show intentionally throws one up and in hitting Andre in the face above his left lip.
He went down and did not move for a couple of minutes. While he was down a brawl broke out on the baseball field. Andre slowly got to his feet. Blood was on his face and jersey. After gaining his balance ‘‘The Hawk’’ tore off into the fray like a raging bull. He was looking for one man and one man only, pitcher Eric Show. Show saw this bloodied and bloodthirsty man headed his way and he decided to head another. They even tried to shuffle him into the dugout to hide him, but Dawson burst through the crowd near the steps of the dugout and had to be restrained and calmed so the medics could take care of him.
Andre sorted through the throng of players to find the one he knew was responsible for the brawl and his pain which is what Micah does here in chapter 2. In the previous chapter Micah pronounced God’s coming judgment on both Samaria and Jerusalem. Now, he sifts through the masses to focus on those he sees as most responsible and delivers a word of rebuke from the Lord, a word we should take to heart.
Micah 2.1-2 - (CSB) - Woe to those who dream up wickedness and prepare evil plans on their beds! At morning light, they accomplish it because the power is in their hands. 2 They covet fields and seize them; they also take houses. They deprive a man of his home, a person of his inheritance.
I want to give the first of a few statements to help guide us in our study of this passage. Let’s begin by thinking about Man’s Determined Sin (1-2).
We all know that sin is any actions ...
