His Word is a Lamp: Micah

“…walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8b

Y’all,
I’ve been thinking about how that verse captures the heart of the prophets. When asked what comes to mind when thinking about the prophets, I would imagine people would think of God communicating His displeasure with Israel, God foretelling future events through the prophets, and God sharing that condemnation will be coming if they didn't repent. I would tend to agree with that assessment. However, I think the heart of the prophets was to call the people back to loving the Lord with all that they had.

Amazingly, God wants a relationship with us. He doesn't want our religious offerings or our sacrifices to earn favor with Him. I would imagine that would feel like an insult to the God of the universe! Amazingly, beautifully, and filled with grace, Jesus came to teach us, to show us, and to be the Way. 

So, I think that means we should walk with Him! To walk with the Lord means:

• We go where He goes-we will look for where He's working and we join Him
• We go with Him throughout all of our lives-we are intentional and acknowledging His presence through life
• We actively engage in a relationship with Him-we build habits and disciplines that foster our relationship with Him and transform us
• We walk humbly because we realize Who He is and what He has done for us

It looks like walking weather to me, have a good walk with God today!
