Micah 6:8 NIV
He has shown you, O mortal, 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.
Micah 6:8 MSG
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.
“Realizing the blessing of aliveness expresses itself in humble, down-to-earth ways of service and taking care of details. And that is something that we can practice in any walk of life.”
— Brother David Steindl-Rast in Music of Silence
Reflection
Sometimes we walk individually and sometimes we walk in community. In all of life, God gently asks us to walk humbly. We invite you to read through the verse slowly a few times. Spend a few moments meditating on the humble walk in community. What prayer arises for the community around you?
