Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED LIFE IS MARKED BY HUMILITY
Reading: Micah 6:6-8
Micah 6:8 (NKJV)
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
God does not require much of us, but these three things; justice, love for mercy and humility. Humility is that solid foundation for all other virtues, without which all other virtues of life cannot be fully practiced.
Humility is referred to as meekness and absence of self. It is not about making yourself small or acting as if everyone is better than you are; someone lacking self confidence. It is just that you do not think so highly of yourself.
The Message Bible puts it right, "... And don't take yourself too seriously – take God seriously." God is not interested in your sacrifices, but that you walk humbly with Him. When you are able to humble yourself before God, your sacrifices and all other Christian virtues will be accepted of Him.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Mighty Jehovah, to You belong all power. O Lord, increase in us that we may decrease, in Jesus' name. Amen.
