Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God. That's my day.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in Micah 6:8.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8 · BSB

Reflection

Micah's listeners wondered what would please God: more sacrifices, rivers of oil? He answered with three things: act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God. Faith lived out is often that simple, and that hard.

A prayer

Lord, help me act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You today.
