The Bible Study Reading Plan预览

How do you show God that you love Him?

Back in the day, it was required of people to sacrifice animals in different ways in order to show their love for God and to restore their relationship with Him. I'm thankful that things have changed because, quite frankly, I don't do well with blood.

The prophecy of Micah is a book that tells of future judgment and the restoration that follows. Some things have taken place; some are still to come. Towards the end, Micah is trying to figure out how he can restore his relationship with God since Israel had drifted so far away from Him. He brings up the best of the best offerings. They were above and beyond what anybody could afford, but he just wanted to know what it would take because no matter God's response, the action would be worth it.

You know what the Lord wanted? What he required of His people?

He told them to do justice, love kindness, and to walk humbly with their God.

That's it.

God doesn't care what you bring to the table. He doesn't care what you offer Him. He already has everything He needs. All He wants is your HEART. It's the cheapest, yet one of the hardest things that you can give while living in this society.

In what ways can you better position your heart towards God this week?
