Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O 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?

It that too much to ask?

I could stop right there and let that sink in. I could but if all of us agree this not too much to ask, what went wrong?

Perhaps it begins with what you see. God has shown what is good. Do you see it? If your answer is yes, great, get on with the response. If no, what are you seeing?

Psalm 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Fainting, falling down, failing, begins with the key element of belief. Who you believe and what you believe frames your insight, your vision, your ability to see God at work in your life and the life of others.

If all you see is pain, misery, injustice then you will not see the way to end it.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

What happens when man cannot see God’s good?

Psalm 10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

In the midst of your pain and misery, can you see good? No? Where are you looking?

Psalm 121:1,8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

You have to believe it to see it.
