the recipe for tranquility...

God reminds his people in Micah 6 of all he has done for them, yet he is frustrated because they still rebel against his love. They ask what they can do to repair this relationship--what can they bring? what should they sacrifice..perhaps even their children (as the pagan cultures around them did to appease their gods)? Micah, God's prophet says, "No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

To do what is right...

To love mercy...

To walk humbly with your God...

We get it so wrong and make it so complicated. But, God simplifies everything.

Obedience. Mercy. Humility.

You will find that same theme over and over again in the Bible. Meditate on that every morning, and you'll find yourself living in true tranquility... The real "OMH" instead of the "ohm" of hinduism. ;)
