Micah 6:8
"He hath showed thee, Ο man, what is good. And what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
"Justice, mercy and faith"—the things which Jesus calls the "weightier matters of the Law" (Matt. 23:23).
Can we honestly say that we "love mercy"—that this is our basic way of life? What does it mean, to love mercy? Let us think about that a lot. It is the key to many things—"LOVE MERCY." It will open our understanding to many things. It is a beautiful, Christ like characteristic.
We will find that "loving mercy" is very closely related to "walking humbly"—in fact, they are inseparable, and they complement each other. They are two sides of the same godly character. "Come and see my zeal for the Lord" is often the voice of pride.
