“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God”-Micah 6:8
This verse was the favorite of a dear friend. And he lived this verse. So often we wonder, what does God want? How can we live in a way that is pleasing to Him? This particular verse pretty much covers it 🙂
Treat others justly. This is not about the modern concept of Social Justice, which seems to be about judging the behavior of others more than anything else. o, this is about how we personally treat others. Are we fair and just to those individuals we meet?
Love kindess. Finally an easy one :). Do we love others as we love ourselves? Do we treat others with kindness, strangers and friends alike? The dictionary defines kindness as: “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate”. Guess we can all work on that one 🙂
Walk humbly with God can mean many things. But maybe one thing it means is remembering that we need God’s Great Mercy and Forgiveness every bit as much as “the other guy”, and so perhaps we need to offer the same Mercy and Forgivenss that God give us 🙂
Walk with God. Be The Light.
