Micah 6:8 is a clear, crisp, and simple summary of what God expects from you and me. These three things that matter so much to God are the three things God wants to see in us: justice, kindness, and humility. To act justly is to treat people fairly and respectfully. You do not oppress or mistreat others. The word expectation is used only six times in the ESV Bible, and the word expect, 20 times. It’s used three times in Proverbs, and all three speak negatively of the expectations of the wicked or wealth. Jesus said, “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Listen! The LORD is calling to the city– and to fear your name is wisdom– “Heed the rod and the One who appointed it.
Luke 6:35-36 – “But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” It is important to honor and respect people as well as be considerate of them.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we pray that all who read this learn how important it is to have consideration for your neighbor and respect and honor them. Help us all to be considerate more in these times.
Prayer for renewing faith
Heavenly Father, I’m asking You to give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive Your correction and guidance, as I seek a faith revolution in my life—a dramatic turnaround in my thinking, believing, speaking and acting. I ask You to give me the strength to hold strong in the days ahead.
Lord Jesus take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
