Micah 6:8

The LORD has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 NLT

To Do What is Right

• Learn to practice "God Sightings" - watch for God being active in your life
• Prioritize your day in order to spend time with God
• At the end of the day, review what happened with God through prayer.  Ask His guidance for the next day.
• Consistently worship God each Sunday (the online video, DVDs or CDs are nice... but not the same as worshiping with others)
• Get an accountability partner
• Join a Journey small group
