Who is the most joyful person you know? Now, think about your perception of God. Would you use “joyful” to describe him? Lots of people imagine that God is dour, stern, and generally not joyful. Sometimes, we even think that God forbids fun. But Micah says that God “delights in steadfast love” (7:18). And as we finish reading the words of this prophet, we will see that his journey from woe to joy was anchored in the truth that God is in himself the source of true joy. Downloads
