"He has showed you, O man, 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."
~ Micah 6:8 (NIV)

Walk humbly with God..... what does that look like to you?

I soak in on God's truth through worship. Anyone who knows me knows that I almost always have worship music play throughout my home. Over the past while I've had alot on my plate and I find it difficult to find quiet time to soak in on God's Word. My refuge has been the quiet moments in my house where the music warms me and God embraces me, encouraging me that each day is new and fresh. That has been such a huge thing for me to know that each day is new and that we don't need to repeat yesterday. Yesterday is behind us and we step forward into a new day.

I have many friends each struggling with issues or circumstances that are out of our control. I have been feeling guilty that I cannot pray for them or be there for them as they journey through these tough times. I barely have enough strength to carry myself through the day that I cannot take on any more. God reminded me through Micah 6:8 what the Lord requires of me...."to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

Even though my burdens and load are heavy, I can only take on so much. When I worship while I work, my heart is in tune with God and I feel His presence. I know He's near me. I feel Him wrap his Heavenly arms around me when I need it. He comforts me when the tears come in those moments of complete brokenness. I feel that this time in my life that this verse is a reminder of my relationship with God. I have had so many decisions to make and it's imperative that I remain integral. To do this each decision I had to bring at Jesus' feet.

My journey is a quiet journey with God and I. Just the two of us conversing back and forth.... connecting through worship and music. I'm walking with God.... one step at a time.... waking up fresh each day knowing that tomorrow hasn't come and yesterday is gone.... Today is new. Embrace it and treasure it. Take this day to act justly.... love mercy and walk humbly with God. He has shown us what is good.
