December 29
Scripture focus: But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don't take yourself too seriously— take God seriously. Micah 6:8 The Message
"You might experience our encouragement to entrust your life to God's loving care as a call to passivity. But it is actually a call to action. It is not, however, a call to action based on self-reliance. The kind of action we have been describing as important to spiritual reconstruction is grounded on reliance on God. We ask for guidance, we listen to God's voice and to the voice of wise counsel, and then, with God's light showing us the next step and God's Spirit giving us the grace and help we need, we take that next step. We are no longer striving to get things right –- trying hard, trying harder or trying our hardest. Rather, in the words of the prophet Micah, we "walk humbly" with our God (Micah 6:8), one step at a time, step after step." Soul Repair
Recommended reading: Revelation 10 – 14; Psalm 148-150
