From Ann Glover O’Dell’s Scripture Surplice:
Micah 6:8b:“and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah’s message echoes in our ears.
Melodies of verb and noun
easily remembered and enjoyed
quoted in a quiet, reverent voice.
Moving
from the do and love and walk
slipping
to climax “with your God.”
Chronology could be reversed
a case might well be made
that walking with our God
our egos lost in wonder
in ecstatic harmony
our wills subsumed in His
needs be the foremost cause
with the doing and the loving coming forth
putting mercy before justice
so all is in reverse
and walking, running, leaping
we dance the dance with Him
that cannot help but be the pivot point of life.
But Micah was a poet with license to be used
in framing holy picture-words so that the three
form circles round each other
without beginning, middle, end.
