What Does the Lord Require

The prophet, Micah, was inspired to pen
three righteous goals which are good for all men.
Three kinds of behavior on Jesus' A-list.
with viewpoints He requires must not be missed.

LOVE MERCY, first one that Micah mentions
much-more-involved than mere good intentions.
To love our brothers like we love ourselves
means what we might like, we put on the shelves
to do what is best for a needy neighbor.
This Jesus did; He became our Savior.

Micah reminds us, we all have our flaws
but we're to DO JUSTLY, obeying laws -
laws of our land, yes, but also God's rules
To say there is no God are words from fools.

The last requirement might seem to be easy
WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD is not cheesy.
Satan found out that he is not greater
than God who's earth's Almighty Creator.
Jesus walked this earth without pulling strings
His Spirit within us does all good things.

Micah 6:8
