A Simple Faith John Zehring

"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) The most important question a person of faith could ask may be the one Micah raised: What does the Lord require? In his brief verse, Micah answers the question with three simple requirements: to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. Do justice. Justice, in the Hebrew scriptures, means how you treat people. Love kindness. Put kindness above all other religious practices. Walk humbly with your God. A simple faith pleases God. Do not make it more complicated that it needs to be. Become like children, taught Jesus. Love, trust, obey, and walk with God. For people of faith who care to ask the question Micah posed, "A Simple Faith" inspires the reader to know God better and to love God more. Wherever you are on your faith journey - a beginner or a seasoned follower - build your relationship with God on the foundation blocks of justice, kindness, and a humble walk with God.
