Thought of the Day !!

He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 (NRSV)

Part III - Humility

Notice that Micah tells us to walk humbly with God after he tells us to be just and kind. This is important because after we act justly towards one another, and after we show loving kindness, we must not seek glory for what we've done. If so, then it no longer is an offering to God, but instead becomes all about us.

In coming to earth in the form of a human being and dying a horrible death on a cross for us, God humbled Himself more than we can ever attempt to. And God cares nothing for vanity or foolish pride. So as you go about your week doing justice and showing kindness, do so in the name of Christ…giving Him the credit. Believe me, if you do, you'll be rewarded a hundred fold.

In the love of Christ,
