O, people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
– Micah 6:8 (NLT)
WHAT GOD REQUIRES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know what the Lord wants for you?
Do you follow his will in all that you do?
God requires you to do what is right
It will give you victory in this life.
He wants us to love mercy
He exampled how to walk humbly
He requires us to be blameless
It will lead us to uprightness.
Many people live their lives without even knowing what is required of them to have a successful life. So, they go around in circles without a direction. They chase the wind and live futile lives.
The bible says that God requires us to do what is good and what is right. He also wants us to love mercy and to walk humbly. Jesus lived a life that God required. What does it mean to do all these things that God asks from us? Do you wonder why he wants us to follow these guidelines?
Just like you follow requirements to pass a course, we are also expected to be able to go through all that is needed to maximize our potentials and receive the promises of God’s salvation.
PRAYER
Lord, guide me daily.
REFLECTION
What among God’s requirements are you struggling with?
