Doing My Part



He has shown you, O mortal, 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.

--Micah 6:8 (NIV)

Immortal God,

I want to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You today.

Thank You, for showing me Your character and Your will through Your Word, so that, out of my own personal experience with the goodness I see demonstrated in You, I am able to understand what is good.

Help me live out my life from an overflowing gratefulness for the gifts of Your unrelenting love, redemption and salvation.

Let that heart of gratefulness govern my actions and continually cause me to act fairly and justly in all I do.

Help me to live my life in service to You and to others, in demonstration of the love and mercy that has been poured out on me.

And cause me to walk with You—living for You and drawing my very essence from You—with a humble spirit that is void of pride.

I want to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You today.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
