It took about 8 minutes to read this passage. Micah ends his prophesy with a passage of praise to God. He don’t focus on the victories that God had given Israel in the past, or the Law, or the mighty kings who had ruled God’s people. Micah points out the difference between God and all the idols of the nations: he pardons sin, and delights in grace. The theology of most false gods was that of appeasement; “Serve me or I will abandon you.” was their lying messages. But Micah points out that the one true God of Israel is always looking for a way to restore his people back to him. If sin separates then he will pardon those who sin. If we are too weak to try, he will provide strength to walk and run. When our flesh battles his will, he will provide the strength to subdue our iniquities. Indeed; who is like our God?
