Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Judges 17-18
It seems that Micah is about using God rather than serving Him. He wants a priest and an ephod and carved images, not so he can rightly know and love God but so that he can get them to do what he wants.
God isn’t a genie in a lamp that we can rub when we want our wishes granted. God doesn’t live to do our bidding. We need to know God rightly so we can worship Him rightly. Wrong beliefs lead to wrong actions. Every. Time.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your immense mercy and grace. You didn’t have to love me. You didn’t have to save me. But You did. Thank You. I want to serve You for You are worthy. Give me discernment to recognize what is good and what is evil and give me the power to choose good. For the Glory of Your Name and Your Kingdom. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
Teach What is Good 
Indeed. As the old Mishrad story: A Rabbi went to a desert father and asked when the Messiah was coming and the answer was “why don’t you ask him yourself?” He is out the city gate healing people. The Rabbi returned and said “He lied to me, He said He was coming today and He is not here!” The desert father replied: ” He didn’t say he was coming today, He said Listen”
I must learn every day to do so. It is my joyful opportunity, daily.
