What Does the Lord Require? The prophet Micah describes the ways that Israel has failed and forgotten God, and it feels like they’re in serious trouble. Like they need to repay something to God. So the prophet asks, “what does the Lord require?” It turns out, justice does not mean “equaling the scales” for God. But the Lord requires doing justice, embracing faithful love, and walking humbly with God. | Psalter: Psalm 15 (UMH 747) Micah 6:1-8
