"Want my opinion"

  He has showned you, O man, what is good. And what does the law require of you? To act justly and to love mercy 

 and to walk humbly with your God.     

 M I C A H 6:8

     What's important to you? Some people think money is the name of the game. They keep up with the latest investment schemes so they can score big bucks. Some people think outward appearances are where it's at. They invest everything in trying to look good. Are you interested in my opinion? Three thing really matter to me.

      First, i want you to act justly. When you make a promise. Keep it. Stand by beliefs.

     Second, i want you to love mercy. That means you can't hold grudges. You have to live humbly with me not always wanting your own way but learning to want mine. It means knowing you are my child.

     God never conceals His expectations from us. We never have to guess we should live. In response to the mis guided ways in which people sought to please God, the prophet Micah clearly explained what God does and does not expect. The people asked: Should we come to God with many  offerings? Should we bring a thousand rams and ten thousand rivers of oil? Would God be pleased if we gave our firstborn child to Him to express our devotion? God does not ask us for spectacular acts of service. He asks for humility. We may hide behind questions about the Bible or uncertainty about the second coming of Christ. We can allow ourselves to become distracted in order to avoid confronting what God has clearly told us to do today. If we strive to be completely obedient in the basics, the more complex assignment will become clear. ( Mic. 6:6-7 ). Micah response was straightforward: "He has shown you, O man, what is good."
