“And what does the Lord require of you? “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Could it really be that simple? Jesus said he must be about his Father’s business. We, too, must be also. When we act justly we give a fair price for a good product. We do our best work for our company and we care for other people’s property as if it is our own. Loving mercy is having compassion for the poor, the lost, orphans, our babies, the unborn, lost dogs etc. It’s not being a part of the “me” generation. As Christians, we have the ability to show loving mercy when we allow ourselves to be renewed and transformed by the spirit of God. The last part of the verse says, “and to walk humbly with your God.” He is the creator of heaven and earth. He gave us life. He sacrificed his son so that we may be with him in heaven. He is all wise, all knowing, and ever present. There is no way we can think ourselves above him! We are humbled by his greatness. So we submit our lives to him and follow him. It is so simple.
He has showed you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
Encouragement for the week: We don’t need a platform to preach from, nor do we need to write a book or to raise a family of ministers. We can just practice Micah 6:8.
