Tick. Tick. Tick.

Three seconds passed.

Now six seconds passed.

And now more seconds passed.

As seconds do not stop for anyone.

What if you numbered your seconds,

treating every tick of the clock

as if it is your only second.

So this morning I asked GOD

what HE wanted me to do.

And when you ask GOD,

HE answers.

All you have to do is be STILL enough

and wait.

HE answered me with

Micah.

Yup.

Micah.

Out of the blue (hmm),

 Micah 6:8 popped into this brain of mine.

"To act justly and to love mercy    and to walk humbly with your GOD".

Now, to read this verse just as words,

then they will be just words.

So I asked GOD what does this mean for me.

And then HE answered me with the words of

JESUS~

‘You shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart,

and with all your soul, and with all your mind"

(Matthew 22:37).

So if 1 + 1 = 2,

what does Micah 6:8 + Matthew 22:37 =?

Oh the answer is obvious.

EVERYTHING.

Because how is one able

TO ACT JUSTLY

and

TO LOVE MERCY

and

TO WALK HUMBLY with GOD,

without

LOVING GOD FIRST

with

ALL

your

HEART

and

ALL your

SOUL

and

ALL your MIND. 

So what does

Micah 6:8 + Matthew 22:37 =?

Hmm.

GOD just gave me the ANSWER.

Colossians 3:16-17!

Oh read each word as if you are feasting on your favorite meal

that you wish you would never end.

For when you FEAST on HIS WORD it never ends,

and you just crave more and more and more...

"So, as GOD'S own chosen people,

 who are holy~

set apart, sanctified for HIS purpose~

 and well-beloved [by GOD HIMSELF,

 put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience~

 which has the power to endure whatever injustice

or unpleasantness comes,

with good temper;

 bearing graciously with one another,

and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another;

 just as the LORD has forgiven you,

so should you forgive.

 Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in unselfish love,

which is the perfect bond of unity~

for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others.

 Let the peace of CHRIST~

the inner calm of one who walks daily with HIM,

be the controlling factor in your hearts~

deciding and settling questions that arise.

To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body of believers.

 And be thankful to GOD always.

 Let the spoken word of CHRIST have its home within you,

 dwelling in your heart and mind—

permeating every aspect of your being,

as you teach spiritual things and admonish and train one another with all wisdom,

singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD.." 

So what does

Micah 6:8 + Matthew 22:37 + Colossians 3:12-16 =?

Colossians 3:17!

"Whatever you do

[no matter what it is]

in word or deed, do everything in the name of the LORD JESUS

 [and in dependence on HIM], giving thanks to GOD the FATHER through HIM"

Therefore,

1 + 1 =

"CHOOSE THE JESUS WAY"
