Micah 6:8

Good Evening,
I trust you've all had a good day. I worked in the garden, cleaning it so Chuck could till it tomorrow. Fall is fast approaching.
One of the things that the Lord has impressed upon me through the years is that He delights in our obedience to Him. His Word proclaims it and He says He will bless us for our obedience. I'm sure you can think of many ways that the Lord has blessed you.
When we were overseas we saw His hand at work in so many ways. Because we were obedient to His call to go to the Czech Republic, He allowed us to see the fruit of our labors.
We were at a camp in southwest Bohemia and a young girl told me that she wasn't a believer like we were. I had never met her and as this was the first day of camp, I was mildly surprised that she said this so soon into the camp.
Over there, people understand about being a believer in Christ, and not. The lines aren't so fuzzy as they are here. Many people couldn't understand why we'd leave our cushy life here to live over there.
I think the scripture today says a lot about our going and serving. Micah 6:8: "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
We tried to live that verse before the Czech people and they could see it played out, even when we didn't realize it. People knew we were different, not because we were from another country, but how we lived our life and the service that we did for Him.
So, do you act justly and love mercy and walk humbly with your God?

Walking, walking,
Sandy
