Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God


He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of
you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8 (NRSV)


This verse was a verse that my pastor, Bob Humphrey, preached on for a number of weeks earlier this year during Lent. It popped up in my random Bible verse app today, and I thought it was a good one for today.


Why does God require these things of us? What struck me when I read this today is that when we do these things we are less likely to sin. Especially that last part - walk humbly with your God. When you are walking with God, aware of His presence, you are less likely to do the things you know you shouldn't. Sin likes darkness, and when we are walking in the light, it pushes back the sinful desires we have.


So I encourage you today to walk humbly with your God.
