“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.”
Micah’s words are clear, concise, compelling; reminding us of the way of true religion.
To be religious is to be doing non religious things, more than religious things.
It is to be outside the church more than inside the church.
To walk humbly with God is to be strong enough to be weak;
smart enough to be foolish;
confident enough to not have to be right;
secure enough to be sensitive to the insecurities of others,
and honest enough to leave room for mistakes.
Humility is something which comes as we walk by grace through faith and trust not to our own religious goodness.
Prayer thought for the week: “Lord, keep me humble so I can be YOUR servant in all my living…acting justly and loving mercy!’
