Category: What does the Lord require of you? Micah 6:8

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:8; Titus 3:2 The Apostle Paul instructed young Titus to show true humility toward all men. It certainly makes sense—if we are walking with God, then we’re obviously walking among people. Here’s a great story I read recently that will put a cap on this week’s quest: A teacher introduced a game called “balloon stomp” to her[…]

Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 11:2, Amos 3:3 The third requirement God spoke through the prophet Micah is to walk humbly with your God. This causes me to ask—when we walk with someone else, who leads? Who determines the direction? Who sets the pace? How far will we walk? When my husband and I go for a walk, we plan the route[…]

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:8; Isaiah 54:7-8; Luke 6:36 Another meaning of the word “mercy” is to show love and kindness—lovingkindness. It goes beyond forgiveness. It includes gracious behavior toward the person we just forgave. (I’ll give you a minute to swallow this revelation, because I’m trying to digest it myself.)

Too often we read instructions in the Bible and think to ourselves, It’s impossible for me to do that. The Lord’s directives might be challenging,[…]

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:8, Romans 12:9-19 The same way a judge defers to the law as the standard for making judgments, we must live by a certain guideline, as well. What better standard than the consistency of scripture? While Micah the prophet spoke in general terms that we are to “do justly,” Paul the apostle goes into much more detail[…]

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:8 People who know me know that I am an avid fan of Judge Judy. She runs one tight courtroom. She won’t accept hearsay when trying cases (because the witness isn’t present to confirm what he said); and, even if she doesn’t like a certain person, she does her best to judge fairly, using the law as[…]

Today’s Scripture: Micah 6:1-8 Happy new year to you! If you’re someone who makes new year’s resolutions or who sets goals, this week’s question—What does the Lord require of you?—may be just the ticket to help you move toward serious life change. Here’s a little backdrop of this week’s quest. Micah was a prophet who preached against the sins of[…]
