God doesn’t ask you to sprint through faith, striving to prove yourself or keep up with impossible expectations. He invites you to walk with Him—steadily, humbly, and with a heart that stays close. This episode reflects on Micah 6:8 and the simple, life-giving pace God desires for His children. When we feel overwhelmed, distracted, or worn out, the Lord gently reorients us: live with integrity, choose mercy as a first response, and let humility guide your steps. Tonight, you’re reminded that God delights in journeying with you—no frantic running, just faithful companionship and a sustainable walk shaped by justice, mercy, and humility.
