Today's encouragement comes from Micah 6:8, where we read these great words:
"He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD requireof you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your
God?"
Sometimes the Christian life can be made to seem so busy and
cluttered: "Be sure to pray; be sure to read your Bible; be sure to
evangelize; be sure to serve others, etc." And though all these things
are good (obviously); sometimes we just need to relax and ask, "Just
*what* is it that You want me to *be* and *do*, Lord?"
Today's Micah text (above) pretty much answers that question. God
wants us to live in Jesus, by faith. When we do this, we *will* do
"justly," "love mercy," and "walk humbly with our God." Let's
concentrate on Christ today. He will make us what He wants us (His
church) to be.
[Puritan quote of the day: "God is infinitely greater than kings. He
is the universal King of heaven and earth, the absolute Sovereign of
all things.” —Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, "The Warnings of
Scripture"]
