Welcome to Scripture Saturday!
This coming week's memory verse is Micah 6:8...
He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (NKJV)
But how are we to do this? First we must acknowledge our sins and then be willing to submit to God's mercy. It is only through a humbling of ourselves that we will be allowed to walk with God. "God sets Himself against the proud, but He shows favor to the humble.” (1 Pet. 5:5.)
A person who walks humbly with God understands that everything that she possesses is a gift of God. A person who walks humbly with God will try to determine where God would have her to go rather than trying to set her own direction based on her own wisdom. To be truly humble, we must give up all appearance of self-sufficiency and must instead rely on God as “our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20).
Have a blessed day and week everyone!
