Walk Humbly with Your God

God does have things to say, if we will but listen. What He says comes primarily through His written Word. But He also speaks directly to our hearts and minds. He may give us direction in answer to our prayers. He may ask us to lift someone up in prayer by putting their name on our mind. But God does speak to us and what God says is important. We simply need to be still and listen and follow His lead. When we do, He will use us in incredible ways, and all for His glory.

There are so many passages we could look at. What the Lord says to us and what He wants us to know, fills every page of Scripture. He reveals His own character to show us what we should be like and to encourage us to love more. He commands us to love others and encourages us to reach out to them. He commands us to be holy as He is holy, as He encourages us in our walk with Him.

Micah 6:8 is just such a verse: “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” You do not have to look far to discover what God is saying to you. You must treat other people justly, or in other words, do right by others. Be kind and merciful in your dealings with people. And throughout your life remain humble as you walk with God.

As His people, God calls us and reveals His Word to us. In Scripture, He instructs us as to how we should treat others and He encourages us in our own walk with Him. Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Spend time in the Word every day and live your life by faith in Christ. Let Jesus take hold of your life and let Him live His life through you. Amen.
