God’s desires for us are not hard to discern, His Word is full of His desires and promises for His people!
[God] 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.
Micah 6:8 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God’s desires for us are not hard to discern, His Word is full of His desires and promises for His people. He wants to bless us with salvation (the full meal deal not just eternal life). The incredible gift of His Son is powerful testimony to this truth. But salvation from sin and death is not something He wants to happen in our lives only once and then be forgotten. He wants our lives to reflect daily fellowship with Him apart from the world around us. He wants us to step into His throne room, speak with Him, and to meet Him in that secret place for fellowship. He wants us to separate ourselves from the world, and unto Him only. We should always embrace and pursue His fellowship and His mercy in our relationships, and honor Him with our worship from a humble heart.
MY PRAYER…
Almighty and compassionate Father, as I embrace Your fellowship, help open the eyes of my heart so that I may see what Your heart sees. Teach me to hate sin, not the person, but to be merciful to the one who is repentant. Teach me to know the truth and to act fairly. Help me, Oh Lord, to discern between Your ways and the world’s ways, that I might unveil the wiles of the devil and make known his temptations. Through Your Holy Spirit, stir me to repentance and change my heart oh Lord, that I might become a vessel worthy of the Master’s use daily. In Jesus name, I pray.
Amen
