The Shape of a Faithful Day
Scripture
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?
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
Purpose can sound mysterious, as if one hidden assignment must be discovered before life can begin again. Micah makes faithfulness beautifully plain: do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. These are not lesser callings. They are a daily way of life. Justice may look like speaking fairly when someone is dismissed. Mercy may look like patience with a difficult relative. Humility may look like listening to a younger person without needing the last word. Walking with God may look like a slow morning prayer. Purpose is often found in the manner of your living, not the size of your platform. Today already contains places where goodness can take shape.
