The LORD Require Of Thee

 July 15, 2023- Morning Bible Reading and Meditation- Micah KJV

[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?

Words to ponder:

The LORD Require of Thee

To do justly, 

To love mercy

To walk humbly

With GOD, with The LORD our GOD; 

This is what The LORD required from us. From His children to whom He gave inheritance. 

With thousands of rams for burnt offerings He has no delight. 

Nor in the the ten thousands of rivers of oil for their sacrifice. 

Because He knows,  as He sees the people’s deceitful ways of living,

And the tongue that speaks lies sounds ringing  in His ears. 

What sacrifices can we offer to appease GOD’s anger? 

What more can we give for the rottenness of our souls to redeem? 

Will The LORD be please with the good works of our hands? In exchange for the lies we utter, that tears His heart apart. 

They will say: Oh the wrath of GOD be far away from us!

Let the tender mercies of GOD be not depart, 

Indeed they have plenty, but they would not be satisfied

They hold on to their stronghold yet it is not all enough. 

For they could not bear themselves the fierceness of GOD’s  wrath!

But GOD in His great compassion knows the frailty of mankind. 

So He made for Himself an offering, for the sins of this world to redeem. 

His One and Only Beloved Son JESUS The Christ He sent, 

For the sins of all living souls, but to whomsoever is willing; 

to whosoever will accept His words, to whosoever believe in Him. 

John 3:16 KJV

[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Accept, believe call in the Name of JESUS CHRIST, and be free from GOD’s fierce anger.  Be saved today and be blessed forever.

Have a blessed day ahead!

Micah 6:1-16 KJV

[1] Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. [2] Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. [3] O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. [4] For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. [5] O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord. [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.
