Act Justly And Love Mercy
With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the
exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year
old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers
of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my
body for the sin of my soul? 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 6:6-8
What does it mean to live the good life? Does it mean riches or
power? Nope, it means turning your life over to God and ask His guidance in
everything you do. It means doing His will.
Kindness, selfless giving, humility, and gentle compassion all
mark us as children of God. But the real test is whether we actually turn our
lives over to Him. That’s the good life.
No one can know the good life without
God.
