WHAT DOES HE REQUIRE OF US

Monday, 2/21/2011 Devotional

I have always cherished the scripture Micah 6:8. "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." (NIV) It is a concise and simple verse and yet profound. It is self explanatory and does not need any deep interpretation. If we comply with this admonition we will indeed be pleasing to our Lord and we will bear fruit for His Kingdom. It would be a beautiful scripture to share with new Christians who are seeking direction and focus in their walk with Christ. It is a lovely reminder, a plumb line, and provides a moral compass for our lives. We can measure our own motives and actions and assess our conduct using Micah 6:8 as a guide. With the Lord's help we can strive to carry out this worthy goal.
