Statement for the Ages

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.” 
- Micah 6:8 NIV

And what does the Lord require of you?

Act Justly... That is, to be honest; conforming to a standard of correctness; faithful to the original design.

Love Mercy... Forgiving; compassionate; withholding of the punishment that our sins deserve (Faithfulness - firm in adherence; utterly loyal).

Walk Humbly With God... To not think too highly of ones self; to bring low or prostrate; a show of submission; can imply meekness or gentleness.

Just as Micah shared this Word from the Lord to the people of Israel, this same message rings true today. Yet, we as a people, have seemingly forgotten what is required of us:

To act justly. 
To love mercy. 
To walk humbly with your God.

A statement for the ages...

Seems to me that if God said it, we might want to take heed and listen… and incorporate it into our day to day life.

Maybe if we developed a campaign slogan, filmed a TV commercial, made a bumper sticker, or created a t-shirt, we could better remember.

Keep the Faith... Carpe Diem

Mankind, He has told you what is good
and what it is the Lord requires of you:
to act justly,
to love faithfulness,
and to walk humbly with your God.” 
- Micah 6:8 HCSB
