The 24th Sunday after Pentecost
MICAH 6:8 (MSG)
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.
2 TIMOTHY 2:22 (NTE)
Run away from the passions of youth. Instead, chase after justice, faith, love and peace; you’ll be in the company of all who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Pursue the well being of your neighbor.
PRAYER
Lord God, your expectations are not complicated. And they feel noble. But I'm not very good at acting justly and lovingly. My self interests are constantly getting in the way. Help me to embrace a humble approach to life -- to resist taking myself so seriously. I'm going to enjoy a simple life with good company. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
