To consider in the midst of our busy lives -

Just what does the Lord require of you?

 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

From the Biblical Womanhood blog:

This is all God requires of me: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before Him. He doesn’t require a beautifully-clean house, or five-course dinners, or that I have all of the laundry and dishes done every day. He doesn’t ask that I have all of my “ducks in a row” or that I never make mistakes or struggle.

No, all He wants is a pure heart of humility before Him. What an encouragement this was to my weary heart! He sees past my my messy kitchen and unfinished to-do list and sees my heart. And that is what matters to Him. Oh that I might live a life poured out for Him and Him alone!
