Come to the Mercy Seat<br />

happened. This is what God requires as<br />

repentance:<br />

With what shall I come before the Lord,<br />

And bow myself before the High God?<br />

Shall I come before Him with burnt<br />

offer<strong>in</strong>gs, With calves a year old?<br />

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of<br />

rams, Ten thousand rivers of oil?<br />

Shall I give my firstborn for my<br />

transgression, The fruit of my body for the s<strong>in</strong><br />

of my soul?<br />

He has shown you, O man, what is good;<br />

And what does the Lord require of you,<br />

But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk<br />

humbly with your God? (Mic. 6:6-8).<br />

What does God require of us <strong>in</strong> worship?<br />

There has been too much emphasis placed on the<br />

methods of worship rather than the heart <strong>in</strong><br />

worship. God doesn't require that every time I<br />

come <strong>in</strong>to <strong>His</strong> presence I bow my knee or lift my<br />

hands. These physical acts of surrender are<br />

pleas<strong>in</strong>g to Him, but <strong>His</strong> first concern is my<br />

heart.<br />

What does the Lord seek <strong>in</strong> you, and what is<br />

it He is search<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>in</strong> your heart? God desires:<br />

• you do justly (live <strong>in</strong> <strong>His</strong> div<strong>in</strong>e law)<br />

• you love mercy (for you have been shown<br />

mercy)<br />

• you walk humbly before Him.<br />

The Lord requires us to live lives of worship,<br />

not just to have times of worship.<br />

Who is a God like You, Pardon<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>iquity<br />
