Micah 6:8
“He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah was an 8th-century BCE prophet in Judah, speaking to a society where religious ritual often replaced genuine justice. This verse distills God's core requirements for human beings, moving beyond mere sacrifice to ethical living.
What small, tangible act of justice, mercy, or humility could I contribute to my community this week?
