Mic 6:8  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

What does the Lord ask of you: do justly, follow and pursue loving mercy, and walk humbly.

Deu 10:12  And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Deu 10:13  To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

God prevails. 

Zec 7:9  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:

Zec 7:10  And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

Zec 7:11  But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Zec 7:12  Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Zec 7:13  Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

There is a true judgment and there is a false judgment.  Don’t you love when someone shows you compassion?  When there is an option, they could get after you or be disgusted with you but they show compassion. 

Don’t even let the devil let you think evil toward another.  Don’t even go there in your heart; what is in your heart will come out your mouth. 

Don’t refuse to hearken.  A great wrath is what happens when we don’t obey what the Lord has required.

Zec 8:16  These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

Zec 8:17  And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

The true judgment is the judgment of truth and peace.  Don’t let people lie about the saints to you.  Don’t accept it.  Tell them, “Let’s go talk to them and let’s go see if that is truth.”  Sometimes people get mixed up and don’t tell it like it is and always there are two sides of the story.

Mat 19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Whatever is keeping you from selling out is your rich treasure.  Whatever is keeping you from giving your all is what we need to give up.

The fear of the Lord is: to revere, to stand in awe of, and to give your love and respect.

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecc 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Keep commandments means put a hedge around.  Fearing the Lord brings direct great benefits.

1Sa 12:14  If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

1Sa 12:15  But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

1Sa 12:16  Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

Following God and fearing Him have something to do with each other.  Fearing God will help us keep in the right way.

Psa 25:12  What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

Psa 25:13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

Psa 25:14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

If you respect someone then you will listen to them even if you don’t agree with them.  You will take what they have to say. 

Dwell at ease: if we fear the Lord then God is leading us in the way and we can know that it is right.  We are at ease with that. 

Secret means counsel, circle of familiar friends, familiar counsel and sweet converse and intimacy with God.

Psa 31:19  Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Goodness means joy, gladness, welfare, beauty and prosperity.

Isa 50:10  Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

You cannot fear the Lord and be in darkness.  If you fear the Lord then you will have the light of God.

Luk 1:50  And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

This is where the mercy of God will be.

Act 10:35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

This is how people are accepted of God.

Pro 16:6  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

This is the goal: to have men to depart from evil and to have conviction on their heart that they be saved.

 Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Psa 145:17  The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

Pro 5:21  For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
