Today is the first day of readings and journaling in our mission journal.
According to the prohet Micah: The Lord requires you to Do Justice, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). In other words to be fair, show kindness and to be openly surrendered to God. The members of this trip are going not just because they want to, but because we have been invited to go by God.
We will do justice by getting involved doing for others what we hope they would do for us. It is what God wants us to do.
We will love mercy by doing acts of kindness for others, especially those who truly need the most help.
If we decide to walk humbly with God, the Bible promises that God will show us the way. We must focus and have faith and walk humbly with God and surrender to His purposes, and He will be our guide.
I’ll give you a new heart, put a new Spirit in you. I’ll remove
the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s
God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it
possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.
-- Ezekiel 36:26-27 msg
