Micah

Micah 6:6-8 (NLT)

⁶What can we bring to the Lord? Should we bring him burnt offerings? Should we bow before God Most Highwith offerings of yearling calves?
⁷Should we offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn childrento pay for our sins?

⁸No, 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.

James 1:2-5 (NIV)

²Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
³because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

⁴Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Deuteronomy 8:11-14 (KJV)

¹¹Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
¹²Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
¹³And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

¹⁴Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

Deuteronomy 8:17 (KJV)

¹⁷And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Romans 1:21 (AMP)

²¹For even thought they knew God [as the Creator], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation]. On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened.

1 Corinthians 4:7 (TLB)

⁷What are you so puffed up about? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if all you have is from God, why act as though you are so great, and as though you have accomplished something on your own?

Romans 1:20 (NLT)

²⁰For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

⁸And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Psalm 51:16-19 (KJV)

¹⁶For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
