Take God Seriously Not Yourself

by Hazel Straub

Fully rely on God and not your own understanding or wit. Full dependence on God and walking in obedience is true humility.

How can I stand up before God
and show proper respect to the high God?
Should I bring an armload of offerings
topped off with yearling calves?
Would God be impressed with thousands of rams,
with buckets and barrels of olive oil?
Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child,
my precious baby, to cancel my sin?

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don’t take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously. (Micah 6:6-8 MSG)

    Don’t take yourself seriously! Great wisdom in that … And even more wisdom in “take God seriously”!
    God is Good!

      There is no one like God. We need eternity to explore the depth of his riches!
