What's Next? Walk Humbly
Scripture Reading
“He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you,
But to act justly, to love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?”
— Micah 6:8
Devotional Thought
Last week we talked about starting in the middle — choosing to love mercy before we try to fix, lead, or correct anything. Mercy softens us. Mercy resets us. Mercy puts our hearts back in alignment with the grace we’ve received.
This week, we take the next step: Walk humbly.
Humility isn’t weakness. It’s clarity.
It’s seeing yourself accurately before God — not higher than you are, not lower than you are, but truthfully.
Humility says: “I need God in every step.” “I don’t have all the answers.”
“I’m not the hero of the story… Jesus is.”
When mercy has softened your heart, humility becomes the natural posture.
You begin to hold your opinions more loosely.
Your conversations become gentler.
Your pace slows so you can listen.
You stop trying to win arguments and start trying to win hearts.
Humility makes room for God to move.
And here’s the beautiful part:
Walking humbly isn’t something you do once — it’s a daily rhythm.
It’s choosing to surrender your plans for His.
It’s refusing to rush ahead.
It’s acknowledging that the work we do — whether in ministry, missions, family, or our community — only has power when it flows from God’s strength, not our own.
In our work with Free International and Say Something, humility is essential. We step into spaces of pain, brokenness, and vulnerability, not as experts, but as servants. We walk low so Jesus can be lifted high.
Mercy shapes our heart.
Humility shapes our walk.
And from that posture, true justice finally becomes possible.
Reflection Questions
Where do you tend to rely on your own strength instead of walking humbly with God?
How has mercy softened your heart in a way that prepares you for humility?
What would change in your relationships if humility guided your words and reactions?
Prayer
Lord, teach me to walk humbly with You. Strip away pride, hurry, and self-reliance. Help me listen, slow down, and surrender each step to Your leadership. Let humility shape my heart so Your will can shape my life. Amen.
