Serious Business… Micah 6:6-9 The Message (MSG)๐Ÿ•Š

Micah 6:6-9 

The Message (MSG)๐Ÿ•Š

6-7 How can I stand up before God
    and show proper respect to the high God?
Should I bring an armload of offerings
    topped off with yearling calves?
Would God be impressed with thousands of rams,
    with buckets and barrels of olive oil?
Would he be moved if I sacrificed my firstborn child,
    my precious baby, to cancel my sin?

But heโ€™s already made it plain how to live, what to do,
    what God is looking for in men and women.
Itโ€™s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
    be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And donโ€™t take yourself too seriouslyโ€”
    take God seriously.

Attention! God calls out to the city!
    If you know whatโ€™s good for you, youโ€™ll listen.
So listen, all of you!
    This is serious business.๐Ÿ•Š
