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 />
