Faith Is Supposed To Be SIMPLE?

The Lord has told you, human, what is good;
    he has told you what he wants from you:
to do what is right to other people,
    love being kind to others,
    and live humbly, obeying your God.

Micah 6:8

 

I like simple things.  And I like things to be simple.  I get lost when things get complicated.  There's a reason I am not an engineer or a chef or a physicist or a Geometry teacher...because none of that makes sense and that means it's not simple.  Honestly, I truly envy those people who can set up a meal plan, prepare their meals a week at a time, and can spout off the Carbs, Sugar, Proteins, until my mind goes numb.  You see, there are things that are simple to me and then there's the stuff that is so complicated to me that I try to avoid it at all costs.

 

Look at today's verse.  God has told us what He wants from us, and it is SIMPLE!!  He wants us to do what is right to other people (treat them as you want to be treated by them), Love being kind to others (Love one another), Obeying your God (Listen to Him and do what you know is right).  Why do we seem to want to complicate this with lots of rituals, recitations, incantations, posturing, pretense?  God made it simple so that the simple (like me) could understand it.
