He has showed 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.

Something to think about
Here is a verse that has always grabbed my attention. I wonder how many of us (myself very included) are able to live up to this simple requirement.

I love mercy when it is extended to me. I have to admit that I don't always love mercy when it is extended to those who I have deemed unworthy.
Anyhow, this verse got me thinking about that today.
I love that verse. My favorite sermon is based on it. Jesus repeats this idea in Mtt.23:23 (go read it, it'll be easy to find -- the words are in red!).
Oh, did you know that Jimmy Carter quoted Micah 6:8 in his innaugral address?
Matthew 23 is pretty rough stuff. Although it is directed to the Pharisees it could easily now read, "Woe to you 21st century Christian..."
