Micah 6:8
“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
I took my son, his wife, and their 2-year-old daughter to the airport. As we were unloading the car, we took turns holding the hand of the toddler. She is a sweet girl, but unless you are holding her hand, she is subject to wandering. If she will hold our hand, things work out for her good..
That is the theme of this verse. Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. We need to walk with our hand in God’s hand. God isn’t looking for your achievements or a resume that glitters. He’s looking for a hand to hold. Humility is simply a heart that has found its proper place beside a great God. When we walk with our hand in His, we see how big He truly is.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested prayer. Dear Lord, teach me to release my grip on pride. Guide my steps today so I may walk humbly as I hold your hand.
