Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Have you ever noticed that we humans tend to overcomplicate things?
We do it in many aspects of our lives. And we often do it in our walk with God.
Sometimes we need to pay attention to the simple things. The things that are right in front of us but somehow overlooked.
Here are some examples.
Loving God.
Do we get so caught up in the hows and whys that we lose sight of the actual act of loving Him?
Do we put more emphasis on our theology and our doctrine than on our relationship with Him?
Loving others.
Have we allowed our “status” as a child of God to cloud our vision and cause us to look at others as being less than we are?
Do we speak the name of Jesus, but forget how Jesus walked here on earth, healing the sick and lifting the brokenhearted, sharing God’s love with them?
Doing the right thing.
Have we forgotten that we are ambassadors for Christ, called to walk out the call of God on our lives with our actions and our behavior?
Keeping our word.
The Bible says in Mathew 5:37 that we must let our yes be yes, and our no be no. We need to be true to our word, doing the righteous thing when faced with difficult choices.
Make no mistake. It is important for us to learn the deeper things; the mysteries of God.
But in the process of doing that, let us also remember the simpler things!
