It's Not That Hard

Each Sunday our ministry staff gather at 7:45am to have a time of prayer before the services. Each week someone shares a verse and prayer.

This week it was our senior pastor's turn. Dennis shared from Micah 6, a passage I that continues to challenge me.

In verses 6 & 7 the people of Israel ask what they can do to restore their relationship with Christ. "Should we offer him thousands of rams and tens of thousands of rivers of olive oil? ...Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for the sins of ours souls?"

The response of the prophet Micah is remarkable.

"No, O people, the Lord has already told you what is good, and this is what he requires: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

I needed to hear that yesterday and be reminded of what it is God wants me to do.
