Micah 6:8

Sometimes God smacks me with a Bible verse – like today.  Micah 6:8 has come across my path FOUR TIMES today!  A version you might be familiar with is this:

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

Today, I had my Message Bible with me in church, so I read it in that version for the first time.  I pray you’re just as inspired as I was by these words:

But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously-- take God seriously.

I love that.  I will be meditating on this verse this week.  I don’t know what God has in store for me, but I’m going to pursue this.  If you wish to, join me in my meditation!
