“O my people, what have I done unto thee? And
wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against me.” Micah
6:3
“O my people” – these tender words are
repeated again in vs 5; within are contained a volume of reproof. He claims, we are by His creation,
providence, deliverance, love, guardianship, miracles and grace His children;
such things He has done for us; what do we have against Him? His commandments
are not grievous (1 Jn 5:3). Isaiah paints a heavy picture that is often our
relationship with God, wherein we impose our expectations in lieu of His will. Exerts from Isa 43:22-24 “But thou hast called unto me, but thou hast
been weary of me; I have not caused thee to serve with an offering; thou hast
brought me nothing; but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast
wearied me with thine iniquities.” We must be every so quick and consistent
to bring into subjection a heart of humility and reason with ourselves,
remembering God’s favor and mercy (vs 5) and compare them with our unworthy and
ungrateful conduct towards Him. Such a question should be fearful to come about;
“where have I wearied thee?” God
sends no one away hunger, except those who are full of themselves.
“Humility
is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
