Week #9 Resolve to Fight for Justice.

He has showed you, O man, 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.” Micah 6:8

Resolution Point #6: I will WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.

What does it mean "to act justly", "to love mercy", and "to walk humbly with our God"?

There have been great examples in the past of MEN who would not stand for injustice. What kind of footprint are you leaving for your kids? Do they see you ignoring things that need to be confronted?

There are great biblical examples of men taking hard stands for righteousness. From Nathan to Nehemiah to John the Baptist to Jesus. Specifically Nathan confronting King David of his adulteress affair.

There are good men in church who are passive because they say to be Christlike is to be "nice and quiet". Jesus called people out on their sin, rose his voice in anger. We have great examples all throughout the Bible of Great Godly Men who stood up to the popular world and held to the truths of our awesome God.

Will you be a bold witness for the goodness of God? Will you  act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?

Courageous Challenge: Contact your local police dept or youth detention center and ask them what the biggest concerns are in your city. Then pray for God to raise up strong men to help confront those specific issues.

Memory Verse: ““He has showed you, O man, 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.” Micah 6:8
