Sorry it has been so long since my last post. It has been a crazy few weeks!

TFTD: “He has told you, O man, 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

What is good? That is a very broad question that I want you to think about for a minute. No, literally take a minute and think about it. What is good? 60, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55… 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Did you take a minute? Now what do you think God requires from you? Does He want you to be the best person on the face of the planet? Doing the most good for everyone ever? Oh you looked at the theme verse. Well then you know that God requires us to do justice, love kindness, and to walk humbly with Him. Easier said than done right? I beg to differ. I think that all of those things simply boil down to two words: true faith. Faith alone is what can save us. It doesn’t matter how good you are or how many good deeds you have done. “By grace you have been saved through (your) faith…”. If you have true faith all of these things that God requires of us will be there. You will want to be just, love kindness, and walk humbly with Him. They are the side effects of a relationship with God. I challenge you to go and reach all the poor and powerless with your newfound goodness!
