\n“He has shown you, O man, what is good;<\/em>
\nAnd what does the Lord require of you<\/em>
\nBut to do justly,<\/em>
\nTo love mercy,<\/em>
\nAnd to walk humbly with your God?<\/em>” (Micah 6:8 NKJV).<\/blockquote>\nDo justly<\/h2>\n
Be fair with others. Start at home with your wife, husband, and children. Make this principle a high priority there, and then take it to work and in recreation. Do not use one standard for others and a different standard for yourself. Doing the right thing will do wonders for your life.<\/p>\n
Love mercy<\/h2>\n
Love to receive it from God because you know you need it. Then learn to be merciful toward others. Don’t be so super critical that you cannot give people around you a break. Love the principle of mercy and show it!<\/p>\n
Walk humbly with your God!<\/h2>\n
God can work in and through the humble to mold and change them for the better. But if we think we have already arrived at the final point of perfection where we need no change, then pride will keep us from the transformation God wants to work in us. Walk humbly and know that God can and will make you better in degrees of glory.<\/p>\n
Memorize these three things, then make them your daily practice. I’m speaking to myself and all who would want to live well and get ready for judgment.<\/p>\n
God bless!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
