“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” (Micah 6:8, NIV).
Have you ever wondered whether you were really fulfilling God’s call on your life? Maybe it was a specific job, ministry, or mission you felt led to achieve? Or it was less about a job and more about a family, marriage, or having kids. Whatever the call, it’s easy to confuse who we are with what we do. But what does God really want from us?
I spent most of my twenties trying to answer this question. Though I knew God called me to write at 14, I was stuck in a career I didn’t love for five years. During that time, I also freelanced, dog sat, and was a stringer for the local paper. Now that I’ve been writing full-time for nearly two years, I’ve still pondered that question: What does God want from me?
Despite fears that we may not be doing enough or may have found ourselves on the wrong path, what God wants from us is a lot simpler an equation than we make it out to be. Micah 6:7-8 describes it this way:
“Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 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” (Micah 6:7-8, NIV).
