WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE

 
Micah 6:8


"He as 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."NIV


"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"KJV


What the Lord requires of us, we cannot do on our own. He will enable us if we come before Him, broken and repentant. It is then He will help us to do acts of goodness, to show mercy to others, and to walk in humility before Him and our fellowmen. Our Lord did all these things toward us, so He can justly require us to do the same toward others.


Heavenly Father, we confess before You that we try to live a righteous life in our own strength and we fall so very short. Empower us with Your Holy Spirit so that we will be able to live in goodness, mercy, and humility. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
