“He has told you, human one, what is good and
what the Lord requires from you:
to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8 (CEB)
One sentence, short enough to embroider and long enough to take a life.
Somebody in this congregation has been doing this verse for decades without calling it anything. Feeding people, showing up, staying humble. They have been living it while the rest of us discussed it.
Come and bring your whole life this morning. That is the only offering God asked for.
God, you have told me what is good. Stop my negotiating. Let me start walking today, beginning with this hour and the people beside me. Amen.
"Short enough to embroider and long enough to take a life." I love that. Every church has somebody who has been living Micah 6:8 for decades without ever calling it anything. Usually they're in the kitchen.
