Your Garden’s Design (Pt 3)

Micah 6:8 says “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Beyond loving God and others, God desires for you to walk humbly with Him. Doing anything humbly is so counter culture. Humility is the defining characteristic of an unpretentious and modest person, someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others.[1] Walking humbly with God means that we constantly keep in mind that He is sovereign, that He is in control, and that He has authority over us.

Digging deeper: Read Philippians 2:3-11 and meditate on how your attitude could be more like Christ.
