A Thought for the week
Week of June 8
He has shown you, O mortal, 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
This passage has been something of a reminder for me over the years. I see this passage as a reflection of my spiritual life. When I was growing up I was taught to act justly and walk humbly. Love mercy, on the other hand, wasn’t at the forefront. Then I went to college and I was in a mode to love mercy and act justly but not walk humbly. I think all of us live in one of these requirements of God but lack the others. Over the years I found that living in all three, though difficult, reflects the will of God and the way of Christ. So what ways do you live this command of God? What parts do you need to grow and nurture in your life?
