What does God want from us? What is it exactly He wants us to do? Throughout the OT, and the NT as well, it’s clear. We just need to take the time to read it, injest it, and make it part of our every day life. It’s an attitude more than anything else. And it starts with the decision to follow God no matter the cost. Love God and others. Do justice. And depend on Him for all things, not trying to do it in your own strength. Pretty clear, isn’t it? I once heard a famous actor say, “every night when you go to bed, make sure you put your shoes far underneath the bed, so when you get up in the morning, in order to reach them, you have to get on your knees”. Hopefully when you’re in that position, you’re acknowledging your dependence and love for God.
6 So now, come back to your God. Act with love and justice, and always depend on Him.
