The people earnestly but blindly search for the Lord through the medium of more offerings and more sacrifices. Micah replies with the most sublime verse of his book, linking piety with ethics, righteousness with empathy. What God wants from man is that he act justly, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God. Rites and rituals are important, but only when accompanied with righteous, moral and ethical behavior. These are fundamental ideas that must not remain abstract. Rather, a person must take active steps to incorporate them into their lives. This verse is considered so significant that it is inscribed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Start the new year off by fulfilling God's desires for mankind: be a person of moral behavior, help your fellow, and incorporate charity and loving kindness into your life.
