Oppression matters to God. I know that we may be tired of hearing about oppression. Let’s face it, we live in a world with a lot of PRETEND oppression., We live in a world full of 1st world problems, where spoiled brats act like someone is oppressing them anytime they are told no. We live in a time of many imagined grievances, and even if grievances are real, they are often exaggerated. So-called grievances are turned into instruments of manipulation. But the presence of pretended oppression, exaggerated oppression, or the manipulation of oppression, will not change the fact that God hates oppression. That is what we see as we begin Micah chapter 2.
