"With what shall I come before the Lord?"
Micah 6:6-8
Like Noah, I want to be a righteous man, blameless among the people of my time, and one who walks with God (Genesis 6:9).
I desire to be righteous before You in my generation (Genesis 7:1).
I will be careful not to forget the Lord, my God, by failing to observe His commandments, His ordinances, and His statures (Deuteronomy 8:11).
Like Hezekiah, I want to do what is good and right and true before the Lord, my God, by seeking Him with all my heart (2 Chronicles 31:20,21).
Like Josiah, I desire to do what is right in the sight of the Lord, walking in the ways of David and not turning aside to the right or to the left (2 Chronicles 34:1,2).
Like Job, I want to be blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil (Job 1:1).
I will be careful to lead a blameless life. I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house. I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it will not cling to me. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil. Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; I will not endure him who has haughty eyes and a proud heart. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me. No one who practices deceit will dwell in my hours; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence (Psalm 101:2-7).
God wants a heart that has a commitment from which right behavior flows.
