Micah 6:8
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.
If we have an attitude of humility before God, how can we turn and be anything other than humble before our neighbor? God has commanded that we love our neighbors. God is so great, so gigantic and powerful, we can easily accept the command to be humble before Him. But I think this verse goes so much further. We are to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God. This involves others, our neighbors. Our interactions and love for our neighbors comes from our obedience to God.
Holy Lord, when I am humble before you, I am humble and loving with my neighbor. Thank you for this lesson today. May I keep these words in my heart. Amen
