Scripture reminds us what is good and what the Lord requires of his followers: “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8) When it comes to acting justly or loving mercy, you’re not alone if volunteering with a local nonprofit or giving to charitable causes come to mind.
But what if living justly was more than an occasional act—what if it were an attitude or posture we adopted in all of life? What if we could pursue mercy and justice in any type or work or role?
