Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-21

Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

I love how Micah lists the things that the Lord requires us to do.

The first one being “to do justly”.

This means to do things in a way that is well founded; based on good evidence or reason, justifiable, and according to what is morally right or fair.

Second, we are to love mercy.

To show mercy means that we may be in a situation, and we have every right to punish someone for what they did against us, but we choose (here’s the mercy part) to forgive and let it go.

When we fully understand what God did for us, this will be easy to do. And we will actually enjoy doing the same for others.

This is not something God forces on us; it is however, something He would love to see us grow in on our own.

Learning to love walking in mercy produces such goodness and grace flowing out from us. These are very good qualities indeed.

Third, and very important, we need to walk humbly with our God.

This comes when we fully understand Who He is, and we begin to trust Him with our daily life and let Him lead us.

As we are growing up, we are taught to be the opposite. We are taught to do everything ourselves.

But, as we mature in the Lord, and in our relationship with Him, we will find ourselves running things by Him more often than usual.

This causes us to have a grateful and humble attitude toward our Almighty Father.

As we humble ourselves, He will raise us up, and things will work out accordingly in every situation.

1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…
