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?”
With these words, God doesn’t leave us guessing. He gathers the whole of a faithful life into three plain, powerful phrases.
1. Act justly: To act justly is to deal straight with people, to be fair when it costs us, and to choose what is right over what is easy.
2. Love mercy: To love mercy goes deeper than showing kindness once in a while. It means we treasure compassion and delight in grace.
3. Walk humbly with God: To walk humbly means we don’t grow in great leaps of religious achievement, but in steady, daily steps beside the God who knows you completely.
Together these things don’t just describe good behavior, but they describe a whole person, living a whole life, before a holy God.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Lord, shape me today into someone who loves justice, cherishes mercy, and walks humbly beside You always.
