What God Requires of Man……….

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? 7Does the LORD take delight in athousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8He has atold you, O man, what is good?

Micah’s terse response (v. 8) indicated they should have known the answer to the rhetorical question. Spiritual blindness had led them to offer everything except the one thing He wanted—a spiritual commitment of the heart from which right behavior would ensue (cf. Dt 10:12–19; Mt 22:37–39). This theme is often represented in the OT (cf. 1Sa 15:22; Is 1:11–20; Jer 7:21–23; Hos 6:6; Am 5:15).

The Lord is patience in his judgement, for those that seek their own way, but for those who do not seek refuge in the shadow of his wings of protection, there will be an eternal price to pay.

Verse 21 follows up with the point of why you don’t store up earthly treasures. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ‭

We have the power to point someone to the gates of heaven, or……..to the pit of hell, by the words we speak. Which will we choose today and everyday? I pray by the transformation of our heart, that then proceeds out of our mouth, we will choose the former. Lord, let us be mindful daily, of the words that proceed from our mouth. I know I need it!

Where do you put your Hope & Faith? See note below

Our message of hope, is not in a nation, built by humans and a world system. It is built on the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Our Hope is in the one true God, who promised a savior who would save us from ourselves. It is Jesus of Nazareth, who has come for all who believe. One day……He will return, and restore this world, to its proper place, and Every knee will bow, and Every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It is not the heavens and earth that I worship, Oh Lord, it is you the creator of these marvelous things. They cry out, to declare a most wonderful and powerful God of the universe.

A New Way of Living

“and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:24-25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.’ Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:1-4, 6‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬

Jesus was the one and only perfect sacrifice, that was acceptable to God for all of humanity, that was promised when Adam and Ever were banished from the Garden. He was the snake crusher, who would also be crushed. He would rise from that crushing blow, that would offer life eternal, to all who live by faith in him only.
