December 9, read through the Bible in a year.

In between the letter of Jude and Revelation we read two Psalms and three chapters of Micah.

December 9: Proverbs 30, Micah 4, Micah 5 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Proverbs 30. The sayings of Agur. Solomon wasn’t the only man with wisdom and these sayings made it into the canonical scripture. Two examples: “give me neither poverty nor riches” and “The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.”

Micah 4 speaks of the LORD’s future reign in Zion and Zion’s triumph.

Micah 5.The promise of the coming Messiah: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”  But first it promises punishment of Israel’s injustice.
