"The Lord has told you what is good, and this is WHAT THE LORD REQUIRES OF YOU: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God!"
Have you ever wondered what the Lord wants you to do with your life? Does He expect amazing sacrifices or spectacular achievements? What could we possible give to an Omnipotent God or how could we ever hope to even come close to His Goodness? In our One Truth Today we can see WHAT THE LORD REQUIRES OF YOU! The Lord has told us in this scripture, what is good! The Lord wants you to always do what is right. Today we say, "do the right thing", in God's eyes! The Lord wants us to do justly and love mercy. God wants us to be like Him when it comes to forgiveness and justice toward those that sin against us. He is not interested in our fame and fortune, or our notoriety, for we can never rival God. He wants us to walk humbly with Him!
It is important that the Lord has provided His Word for our instruction and edification. We do not have to guess about what the Lord has to say about our lives, He has provided a manual for our instruction. It clearly defines what He expects and what He thinks! It is a requirement of God that we be merciful. How are you doing? He expects us to always "do the right thing" as we go through life. How are you doing? Are you extending love and kindness to others, just as God has done for you? Have you humbled yourself and bent your knee to the King of Kings and have you confessed with your tongue that Jesus Christ is the Lord God? If you have then you have done Good!
Knowing what is good in God's sight is not enough. Knowing what God requires of us is not enough. Being a doer of the Word is what is required of you! Hearing is not listening and learning and unless you do what you have been told, you have not fulfilled what is good!
Do you love mercy. Do you do justly? Do you do what is right? Do you walk humbly with your God? By implementing the Word today in your life, you are proving that you are a Child of God and that you are listening to your Father. He has taught us what is good and WHAT THE LORD REQUIRES OF YOU!
