Here’s an Old Testament discussion about what God desires from us. It’s simple, but not easy.
6 With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
7 Does the Lord take pleasure in thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give Him my firstborn for my wrongdoings,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has told you, mortal one, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
—Micah 6:6-8
Do justice. Don’t just think about it.
Love kindness. As a way of being, not a simple act.
Walk humbly. This is a journey of dependence.
Do. Love. Walk.
