““With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, 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?” 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 6:6-8 ESV
Wonder if at times God looks at us with a compassionate sadness because we so easily depend on our acts of worship and forget that He has called us to live distinctly from everyone else. His laws, rules, prohibitions and commands cause us to live so differently in this world that we should stick out, people should be in awe of our unselfish and loving behavior.
Lord, help me to love You in ways that make You stand out to the people around me. Allow me to display justice and kindness and humility.
