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
Micah 6:8 (The Message)
But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don't take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously.
Just -
based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair
based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair
Mercy -
compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm - an event to be grateful for, esp. because its occurrence prevents something unpleasant or provides relief from suffering
Humble -
having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance or dignity
How can I incorporate this into my life...
hmmm...
... check list!
_ know the difference of right and wrong and choose the 'right' more then I choose the wrong
_ love people and show them compassion even when they don't 'deserve it'
_ forgive!
_ remind myself how great He is
_ think about where I've come from and where He can bring me
_ keep walking forward & listen to what I should/shouldn't be doing &, or saying
_ PRAY
_ read more to be encouraged and inspired
I know this will be a daily checklist and I may never get them all done on a given day but I know if I pursue this, it'll be good for me, the people around me...and so much more.
haha I just read this version...
