What should you do? Walk humbly with your God! Micah 6:6-8

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

What do you do to please God? Do you try to "purchase" things for God? Do you spend so much time doing "godly" things that you forget God?

Micah 6:6-8 What can we bring to the LORD? What kind of offerings should we give him? Should we bow before God with offerings of yearling calves? 7)Should we offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for our sins? 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."

Micah wrote this 700 before Christ appeared on this earth. Israel was trying to appease God with sacrifices, hoping God would leave them alone. Israel had been reminded of what God had done for them, brought them out of Egypt and slavery; journeyed from Acacia Grove to Gilgal and the LORD just wanted to teach them about faithfulness.

God does not want sacrifices or religious rituals; God wants changed lives. He wants his people to be fair, just, merciful and humble. God wants us to become living sacrifices (Romans 12:1,2), not just doing religious deeds, but living rightly (Jeremiah 4:4; Hebrews 9:14)

It is impossible to follow God consistently without his transforming love in our hearts. Examine these areas on a regular basis. Are you fair in your dealings with people? Do you show mercy to those who wrong you? Are you learning humility? Where are you right now, today? Give it all to God. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
