“And what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 (NIV)
I ran across this passage today and started looking up other translations and interpretations. Ultimately, I fell upon this one. I am no Greek scholar but this one from Eugene Peterson’s The Message felt right:
“But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously — take God seriously.”
Indeed, the concept is “quite simple.” The application, well, that’s a bit more challenging.
It occurs to me...
