Micah 6:6-8
v. 8 He shown 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.

I am walking more humbly than I used to. Pain will do that to you. At home, getting things done, I don’t suffer fools gladly who dither along the walkway impeding my progress. Here, with my slower pace and occasional limp, I am in the way of the young hard-chargers. “Buen Camino!” they call out cheerily as they pass. They’re not irritated. They share the road willingly. They walk humbly with me. I too need to show mercy and walk humbly with those who are slower than me. Lord, may more patient walking with others help me to walk more humbly with you.
