Have you separated yourself from the world?

He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8

God is holy and will not associate with sin and He calls His people to be holy like Him. If you are a believer, you are a member of the “set apart people” chosen by God. You are to reflect His renown, praise, and glory. You are to be a light touching those living in darkness. You live in the world but you are not of the world.

You cannot participate in the evils of the world and expect God to bless you. You must seek God with all your heart and lead a life pleasing to Him.

God has given you the perfect gift to help you be a role model for Him. Jesus forgives you for all your shortcomings and His Spirit living inside you will lead you into His paths of righteousness and refine you with the character of God.

The admonition on how to please God from the Book of Micah can be only accomplished if you are yielding to God through His Spirit. As a human being, you can never do what is good without God.

If you read the description of what was happening in Israel when Micah was written, you will see the rampant decay and corruption in the society. This is why God destroyed this nation about 150 years after the prophesy. They needed the gift of God that was coming into the world.

Reach out to God! He will never disappoint you
