Scripture: Micah 6:8 (NIV)
He has shown you, O mortal, 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.

Reflection
The call of God remains disarmingly clear. Justice, mercy,
and humility form the rhythm of faithful life. These are lived commitments
shaping how power is used, how neighbours are treated, and how communities
flourish.
Lent presses faith beyond private spirituality into public
responsibility. The God who loves mercy also demands justice. Together they
reshape the moral imagination of God’s people.
Walking humbly with God means aligning life with the purposes
of God — purposes that honour dignity, confront harm, and build communities
where love becomes visible.
Prayer
God of justice and mercy,
Guide my steps in your ways.
Teach me humility.
Strengthen my commitment to justice.
Shape my life
As a witness to
your love ~ Amen.
Invitation
Identify one small act of justice you can pursue today.
Commit it to God.
Say quietly:
“God, lead my steps.”
