Micah’s account is given as Israel is attempting to reconcile with God. However, bargaining with God is not what he accepts. He requires us to walk with Him in submission and humility. Our covenant with God is one of surrendered compliance to His will and His way. Our minds should be transformed, our behaviors conformed, and our lives governed by His truth. This does not represent a negotiation but the relationship of a submitted life.
God loves us unconditionally, so much so that He gave us His Son as compensation for our sins. He opened a door to His throne for us, providing His all-sufficient grace, and His everlasting mercy to help us with our walk with Him. As we realize our position with God, where we are loved even when broken, we can always trust and submit to His ways of truth.
Time and chance happen to everyone, according to King Solomon, so bad things do happen to good people. But God is faithful, and He will oversee us in the challenges of life that come to make us stronger,
What does the Lord require of us? He requires us to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God. Micah 6:8
