Reflection questions:

1. Does God USUALLY choose the wise and talented, the rich and famous? Why or why not? See Micah 5:2, Deuteronomy 7:7-9; I Corinthians 1:26-31; I Samuel 16:1-13.

2. Read 2 Samuel 7:12-16 – What would happen if one of David’s sons was really bad? Would the covenant with David be cancelled? How do those themes occur in this passage from Micah?

3. Read 2 Samuel 7:18 – Ideally, how do God’s servants respond when He shows them Amazing Grace?
