As I randomly scanned through the list of songs in iwillworship.com I came across a song entitled 'Micah 6:8'. I was curious; what is Micah 6:8 saying?
And it turns out.. I dunno.. I find this verse.. very very beautiful =)
Amplified Bible version:
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?
The Message version:
But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don't take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously.
Why do we trouble ourselves with so many unnecessary rules? Why do we hurt our brothers and sisters with all those judgment and condemnation? Can we not strip off all these and love Him in all truthfulness?
It's quite simple, really.
