You don’t need a title or platform to make a difference, just a heart that mirrors God’s. In this episode, discover how doing what’s right, loving mercy, and walking humbly can change more than you think.
What does it really mean to live a life that honors God?
Micah 6:8 gives one of the clearest answers in Scripture: “Do what is right, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
It’s not about perfection or recognition; it’s about reflecting God’s heart in daily choices.
In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the inspiring story of Mary Slessor, a Scottish missionary to Nigeria whose simple obedience transformed communities. She didn’t chase fame or power; she simply loved people like Jesus did. Over time, her compassion and courage helped change local customs, save lives, and open doors for the gospel.
When we live with justice, mercy, humility, and faith, our small acts become part of God’s bigger story.
Main Scriptures:
Micah 6:8 – “No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
Hebrews 11:6 – “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him”
By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:
- What it means to “honor God’s heart” in everyday life
- Why humility, mercy, and faith matter more than recognition
- How small acts of obedience can lead to lasting impact
Today’s Challenge:
Ask God to show you one way you can live out Micah 6:8 today. Maybe it’s standing up for someone, forgiving an old hurt, or serving quietly where no one sees.
Pray this: “Lord, help me do what’s right, love mercy, and walk humbly with You today.”
