Micah 6:8 – A Watercolor Call to Live Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly

There’s something about deep blues — they hold the quiet courage of the night sky and the steadfast strength of the sea. In this painting, those blues carry a message of timeless truth, written not just in pigment but in the call to live with honor before God.

Micah 6:8 Watercolor Painting Description

This watercolor features bold, hand-painted lettering of Micah 6:8 in the King James Version:

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”

The verse stands over a striking image — a sword embedded in stone, its hilt catching the light. The imagery nods to the legend of King Arthur, evoking the code of valor and honor that knights pledged to uphold. The rich blues and subtle gradients give the scene both strength and serenity.

Inspiration & Meaning

This piece was originally commissioned for a young man, a gift meant to inspire him on his journey of faith and growth. The sword symbolizes courage, the readiness to defend what is right, and the weight of responsibility that comes with stepping into maturity. The verse itself is a guidepost — a reminder that God’s requirements are not about power or prestige, but about living justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with Him.

Encouragement for the Viewer

Whether you are at the start of your journey or standing at a crossroads, Micah 6:8 offers a clear and steady path.
