Do Justice

     What does God require of me? Surely there is something I must do. Man has wrestled with this question since Cain and Abel. New denominations have been created over this very question.

     So what does God require of me? Is it offerings of money, or cattle, or whatever? What do you give the God who created everything? God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He doesn't need yours. Should I be in church every time it's open? Good idea, but not necessary. How would you determine when you've been there enough? Should I do something, build something, feed someone, or comfort someone? Again, great things to do but again how much would be enough?

     So what does God require of me? The answer can be found in the words of Micah, "Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly before your God." There it is, simply stated, what God requires of all who call Him Lord.

At His Name

     How easily we use it. How often we say it without any thought. How careless we are with it. At the sound of it Satan must flee. At the mention of it all of heaven bows in worship. At the sound of it all of creation cries, "Holy, holy, holy." yet we use it in vain without a second thought.

     The name of the Lord is to be high and lifted up, not tossed around like an old rag. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are saved." (Prov. 18:10)
