“GOD’S REQUIREMENTS!”

Micah 6:8

 “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.”

 

Some of life's truths come very naturally to us, but others are harder to learn.  Years ago when I was a police officer, there was a sergeant who was extremely cynical.  He would stride into the police department with his pipe clenched tightly between his teeth, shaking his head and declaring, "The more I see of people, the more I think sheep are smart animals!"  I think sometimes he was right.

 

It grieves me that we have entire churches filled with believers who have not grown one bit spiritually since they experienced New Birth.  They may come, sing, pray, smile, appear contented, but then go out to live pretty much the same way they did before their new birth. God has given us His Word to guide us and prepare us for not only this life, but for the life to come.

 

Micah  6:8 gives us three of God’s requirements for believers. Do justly:  Do what is right and just, even when others are out for their own thing. Love mercy: Love the world (others) with the mercy that Christ has shown to you. Walk humbly: God hates pride and self-sufficiency -- in all your ways acknowledge Him.

 

How would you rate yourself in response to what God requires of His disciples? Where are we falling short and what steps of action should we take?

 

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
