The Journey Outward: The Way of Justice

Peter Neilson August 09, 2012 0 0

Micah 6:8

He has shown 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? 

​Think of a news story from today’s headlines where there is gross injustice.

Imagine justice being done where that wrong is put right.

Pray that God’s just will be done. 

Am I ready to “act justly” today?

Think of a situation where people are in need of kindness and mercy.

Imagine Jesus touching them.

Pray that God’s merciful will be done.

Am I ready to “show mercy” today?

Think of a situation where pride and hubris led to disaster.

Imagine those people walking humbly with God.

Pray that God’s humbling will be done.

Am I ready to “walk humbly with God” today?
