Micah 6:3-8
JUSTICE, KINDNESS AND HUMILITY
He has showed you, O man … to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8, NIV
The Lord is ever faithful and loving to His people. He has truly loved His own with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). It is however sad that God’s people have not always been loyal to Him as He is to them. Our love for God is compared to the morning mist (Hosea 6:4). This should not be so. In today’s passage, the Lord accused Israel of not following His requirements. The Lord delivered them from Egypt, raised leaders for them and disallowed Balak and Balaam to harm them (verses 1-5) but Israel still lived against God’s requirements. Consequently, the Lord expressed His displeasure to them and required that they “act justly,” “love mercy” and “walk humbly with God” rather than offer Him sacrifices.
Brethren, our God is not difficult. His requirements are simple and clear. He expects us as we journey through our Christian pilgrimage to act justly (rightly), love mercy (kindness) and walk in humility. This is what will please the Lord and not our gift offerings. May the Lord help us to do these always.
