May 29, 2010 Read: He has told you, O mortal, what is good: and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Think About: And here we are, at the end of the week and the end of the study. Each of us has spent time in thought, prayer and worship; trying to figure out how to be the best "me" I know how to be. Hopefully, we are all stronger "amazing powerful persons". And now we go forth. Each of us is hopefully more "me" than when we started this journey. The next challenge is to put that New "me-ness" into action, for ourselves, our families and relationships, for our Church, for our community, and to build the Kingdom of God. God does not promise it will be easy; God only promises to be with us, to the ends of the earth. To keep on course, we need a compass. For me, this verse from Micah is my checklist. Do my actions, my deeds, my thoughts pass this test? A simple verse and almost impossible guide:
Seven basic words - and a lifetime mission. Go on, be on with you! God is waiting for your "me-ness"! Pray this Prayer: Oh holy and sacred, take my "me" and make it be yours, teach me, guide me, lead me, show me the challenge that only I will do....with your help. Amen.
