Verse of the day: Micah 6:8

Reflection

Micah answers a crowd asking what gift would please God. The answer isn't a bigger sacrifice but a way of living: doing justice, loving mercy, walking humbly with him.

Prayer

God, show me one way today to be just, one way to be merciful, and keep me humble as I walk with you. Amen.

In context · Micah 6:6–10

Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 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? The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
