Turning Point
Scripture: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8

Devotional
Here’s the plain truth: faith that doesn’t show up in the real world is faith that barely exists. Micah 6:8 strips away the noise and asks the question that matters most- what does God actually want from us? The answer is simple and stark: do justice, love mercy, walk humbly. That’s not a formula for comfort; it’s a roadmap for courageous living.
Reflection
Picture a crossroads at dawn. One road is paved wide and polished, lined with applause and easy approval. The other is narrower, worn by footsteps that chose conviction over convenience. The Turning Point painting seizes that moment of decision, the instant a person opts for the harder road because it’s the right road.
Doing justice means standing for what’s right even when it’s costly. Loving mercy means showing compassion when the crowd chooses condemnation. Walking humbly means carrying out service without headlines or honor. These things aren’t optional extras for religious people, they’re the practical evidence that God’s kingdom is real among us.
If you want to be faithful today, ask: Where is justice required in my circle? Whom can I show mercy to when others judge? How can I serve without seeking credit? The turning point comes when belief becomes action, when courage eclipses convenience.
Prayer
Lord, give me boldness to do what is right, compassion to love the way You love, and humility to serve without seeking praise. Let my choices reflect Your heart and bring honor to Your name. Amen.
Invitation
Choose one concrete step today. A small act of justice, a merciful word, or a humble service and do it without fanfare. Let Micah 6:8 be more than a memory verse. Let it be a turning point.
