Micah 6

As I read late last night I was struck by two verses. Verse 2-3 Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with his people and he will contend with Israel. O my people, what have I done to your? In what have I wearied you?

When I read this I just thought Wow!, God must have been pretty tired of Israel and all their complaints, their sins and their persistence in trying to find their own path instead of following God's path. I also thought that this is probably how God is feeling today. Isn't he tired of humans ruining his creation, killing his people and following their own paths?

God's path is not an easy one, we will have to make sacrifices and leave some people behind but isn't the reason we are here to show glory to God? I was talking with a very intelligent man yesterday and he stated; Faith is not an easy journey, when things are tough you know that you are actively engaged in your Faith. These words were both comforting and troubling. I have to admit that I am tired. There are days when I just want to give up and leave it all behind, but I don't because I know in the end it will make a difference and what I am doing is right. I may not always do it in the right way but I am trying to follow where God is leading me.

Verse 6 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. Not an easy task but we can have the assurance that God forgives us when we stumble and he will be there to pick us back up and help us to go on.
