WHAT IS GOOD?

MICAH 6: 8

"The Lord has told you WHAT IS GOOD, and this is what He requires of you:  to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

Have you ever wondered what it is that God wants you to do with your life?  Does God want some amazing sacrifices from each of us?  What is it that we can possibly give to an Omnipotent God?   There are some things that are required of you, what are they?  How can we be good in God's sight?  He wants us to do justly, which is to do the right thing.  He wants us to love mercy, that is to forgive those who sin against us.  He wants us to walk humbly with God and not desire fame and fortune and notoriety.

Thank God that He has told us what is good and what He wants us to do.  Doing the right thing is what is expected of us.  Being merciful is not only expected but is required if we want to please God.  Remember God has been merciful to you.  Extend Love and kindness just as God has demonstrated in your life.  Humble yourself in whatever  you do.  Walk in humility with your God.  That is the sacrifice that you can bring to the Lord in your life and if you do this then you have done WHAT IS GOOD!

Knowing what is good in God's eyes and sight is not enough.  Knowing what God requires of us is not enough.  Doing what the Lord requires of you is what is needed.  Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with the Lord.  Your real duty and sacrifice to the Lord is making this your way of life.  Become doers of the word and not just hearers.  Implement the Lord's One Truth for Today and you are living what He has taught you.  It should be easy because the Lord went to the trouble to tell us WHAT IS GOOD!
