Guest Devotional: Pat Kelly, Elder
Scripture: Micah 6:8
He has told you, O mortal, what is good: and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Thought for the day: The Holy Spirit I sense within me resonates wonderfully with this single verse. In life I have encountered many pundits with firmly expressed formulas and convictions on matters often dealing with rewards for righteous behavior or the right path to salvation or avoiding eternal damnation. Many of these do not seem to emphasize enough of Christ’s message of unconditional love and unbounded grace or what I might call the never ending second chance. There is no room for cynicism in relations with the Almighty but we constantly make mistakes and need to give and receive forgiveness, to regroup and go on, always trying to follow and be part of the fundamental goodness flowing from the Holy Spirit. I believe Micah was on to something.
Prayer: God, help me to follow and live in truth, love, forgiveness and humility, being open and responsive to your Spirit in all walks, fostering peace and defeating fear and weakness. Amen.
