What Does God Expect of Us?

In the days of Micah and Isaiah, the people of God were losing sight of the church - where callousness replaced compassion. People had become so ‘self-focused,’ they were teaching compassion and love but were not living it. The passion for the poor and needy in heart, was lost. Church goers today, as in times of old, are more like consumers, walking into church asking, “What can I get from God?” But we were created by God for His purposes. Everything we do should be for and unto Him. In Matthew 16:24, Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” When we ask, “How can I do more?” God gives His answer in Micah 6:8, “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” We are a reflection of His character, our voices, lives, are models of His mercy, love, justice, grace, and kindness.
