[Judges Chapter Seventeen]: Lifting the Curse of Micah. In this chapter a man named Micah erects a shrine to God in his house and hires a Levite to oversee it. This seemingly innocuous act eventually becomes a stronghold of idolatry to several tribes in Israel. The reason why Micah established this shrine arose out of a family situation in his own home. Just as in the case of Jael whose obedience to God in her own home changed the entire destiny of Israel – even so no the disobedience of Micah in the privacy of his own home has an impact on Israel for centuries to come.
