My Note: What does the Lord require of me? Ref. Scripture Micah 6:6-16
What does the Lord require of me?
Scripture: Micah 6:6
¶Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the
high God? shall I come before him with burnt
offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will
the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers
of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my
body for the sin of my soul?
8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require
of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy
God?
9 ¶The LORD'S voice
crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye
the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Are there yet the treasures
of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is
abominable?
11 Shall I count them
pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof
are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and
their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will
I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy
sins.
14 Thou shalt eat, but
not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and
thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest
will I give up to the sword.
15 Thou shalt sow, but
thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint
thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of
Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their
counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof
an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
