Scripture Reading
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Reflection
Micah distills the entire law into three intertwined demands: justice, mercy, and humility. These are not separate achievements but a single posture before God and neighbor. We cannot truly act justly without being merciful, nor be genuinely merciful without humility about our own need for grace. This is the shape of the whole life, summarized in one breath. Let it orient your choices today.
