God never ceases to call people to carry His message of salvation. The big picture is that God has always been and is still calling people to repentance. He appoints people to carry his message - including you and I. The story of Jonah isn't about a man who gets swallowed by a big fish - it's about God's reckless love and compassion.
Do You Have Hope?
Micah gives us a message of hope. In a society that appeared economically strong, but was rotting from within - Micah looked to God with hope. Maybe we should do the same?
Questioning God
Questions like "how could God do this?" are good to have. These kinds of questions come from a place of strong faith. When we can't line up our situation with the goodness of God - it's good to bring those questions to him. Though evil, sickness, and pain exist for now, God ultimately works all things towards good.
Seek Good
When we seek good, and maintain justice, God will be with us us. Even when the culture around us is spiraling out of control, God will have mercy on the faithful. God gives us the opportunity to turn back to him.
