Micah 6:8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
We looked at some of the blessings God gives to us and how He has made us to be His lights to the world to show them Jesus The Light.
Our verse today helps to show us how to be those lights for Him.
Sometimes we know the right thing to do but then we're tempted to do the wrong thing, and to give in to the old nature. Maybe it would help us do the right thing if we just stop a minute and remember all that the Lord has done for us then we'll want to do the right thing and please Him and shine His light into the situation.
We'll want to love mercy when we're tempted to jump to conclusions and judge people, whether it's in the media, the government or our daily lives. We all love mercy when we're on the receiving end of it but not always quick to give it! When we show mercy we're shining His Light on people.
Lastly God wants us to walk humbly with Him, which is surely to get in agreement with Him and His Word, His thoughts and to let go of our own opinions, our own way of thinking if they are contrary to His Word. To say "Yes Lord, whatever You say, whatever You want" which will help others see His Light shining.
Being a light for Him can be uncomfortable sometimes because light exposes what is trying to hide in the darkness and people don't always appreciate it! We're called to keep shining anyway, to not let the enemy snuff our light out because of pressure from others.
So, what does God require of us? This verse tells us so we can know, and the lovely thing is, He will help us to do it.😊
Have a lovely weekend. 🎄😊
