DAILY?READINGS: Esther 7-8; Malachi 2:10 to 3:6; Rev. 21:9 to 22:5
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8
Increased revelation from God brings added responsibility to man. Micah’s words illustrate the point. The Lord, having “shown what is good,” declares His requirements. He looks for a three-fold response, in which personal integrity, “do justly;” social justice, “love mercy;” and, fellowship with Himself, “walk humbly with thy God,” are key features. The question today is: Does every part of my life show a genuine response to God’s revelation of Himself in His Son? —George Hall
Thou my everlasting portion, more than friend, or life, to me;
All along my pilgrim journey, Saviour, I would walk with Thee.
