So Micah is clearly focused on the wrong things, having his idol and his ephod and basically worshiping false gods. So to make himself feel good he hires a priest to live with him, and now all is well in his mind.
Well clearly we don't do things exactly like that today-hiring priests to live with us. But it is a reminder to me to make sure I am genuine in my faith and relationship with God and not to do things to either make me feel better or give the appearance that I am faithful. Going to church, tithing and giving cheerfully back to God, volunteering for projects at church are all good things.. But I need to make sure I am doing them to honor, obey and grow closer to God, not just to make a good showing or fake myself into believing I am getting closer to God--its a heart thing and I know when I'm genuine and when I'm not.
