July 10th, 25: Walking Humbly: Insights from Micah and Hebrews

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, host Hunter takes us through the readings from Micah chapters 5 through 7 and Hebrews chapter 7, reflecting on profound questions about justice, mercy, and the true cost of forgiveness. Together, we explore what God truly requires of us—not endless sacrifices or offerings, but to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Hunter delves into the challenges we all face in living out these commands and points us to the ultimate answer found in Jesus, our high priest who has perfectly fulfilled what we could not. Join us for a time of scripture, thoughtful reflection, and prayer, as we seek to understand more deeply the heart of God revealed through Jesus—the One who is enough and invites us to walk with Him today.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

How much is enough? How much do we owe for our mistakes, our regrets, the pain we’ve caused? That’s the deep question Micah puts before us in today’s reading. We try to measure it: burnt offerings, rivers of oil, some attempt to set things right, to pay enough to cover our sins. But here’s Micah’s answer—“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good… to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” That’s the call. Not endless sacrifices or rituals, but a life lived rightly, one that loves mercy and walks humbly with God.

And yet, as poetic and right as that sounds, we find ourselves falling short. We’re invited to a life most of us cannot live in our own strength. Adam didn’t. Neither have we. We’ve all missed the mark, failed to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly. But here is the good news: there is One who has not failed—Jesus, our Savior, the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. He did what we could not. He lived rightly, loved mercy, and walked humbly with His Father. He paid the price once and for all for the sins of the world—not by repeated offerings, but by offering Himself.

So what will cover our past, our shortcomings, the missing sum in our own ledger? The answer is not more striving, not more doing, but Jesus. Because of Him, we’re invited to participate in a life with God. No longer do we need to keep trying to pay—He is enough. As we receive Him, we’re set free to live out justice, mercy, humility—not as a debt to be paid, but as a life that overflows from Him.

That’s my prayer today: that I will participate in this with-God life, that I will receive what has already been accomplished and live in it. He has included me in Himself, and He has included you as well. Everything we need to walk with God today is ours in Jesus.

Let us learn from Him now.

That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so.
