Micah 6:8 ” He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

“That’s not my problem.” We saw the beginning of self-isolation during the Pandemic, when fear of the unknown caused us to keep to ourselves, cloistered and secluded in our homes. But now years later, that self-isolation has given way to passive apathy and indifference towards anything outside of our small sphere. Sure, when asked we give a half-hearted attempt at getting involved in the lives of others, but it’s too easy to look the other way and pretend we don’t see injustice, oppression, poverty, and wrong. In this verse we see three divine requirements that cover our relationships with others according to God’s standards…done with a morally right lifestyle that acknowledges Him in every aspect of our walk. Thus, we now have an ethical obligation to emulate & desire justice, love, and mercy… forcing us to break down our self-made walls of isolation & indifference.
