Were you cooperating with God most fully, or were you resisting?
I think worse the resisting God is to be complacent or apathetic in your relationship with God. At least if you are resisting God their is a sense of relationship happening. But when your mind gets so distracted by other events that you forget about God altogether... that is a terrible place to be.
Beginning today, how will you live your life differently?
Lord, help me to release the things that I want. My desires. I want to be emerged in your presence, fully aware of you with me. The Life with God life. Help me to be attentive to your Spirit so that when you speak, I respond.
Speak Lord... Your servant is listening...

F2F Journal Exercise: Social Justice
Luke 11:28; James 1:22
As the dust settles, what rises to the surface of your soul regarding social justice?
My first thought when it comes to social justice is to do my best not to be deterred by political agenda's or the face that "social justice" seems to be the current fad in our young adult society. The second thought is to remember that I am not called to be the social justice champion for all social justice causes. However, I do have a part to play. What does that look like? What am I being called to do?
How is God speaking to you, and what is He calling you to do about it?
Right now I believe God is calling me to be intentional to wait upon Him. I have to be patient and attentive to the Spirit of God to direct me in what my part is to play. As I mentioned I cannot do everything or organize a group to solve every injustice in the world. But, I do believe I have a part to play. What is that part?
Heavenly Father,
There is plenty of people in the world that would be called "the least of these." I understand that I cannot reach every one of them, but you can. Please, help me to understand my part. What are you calling me to do? What can I do today? Is there a bigger part you would like me play?
I pray Lord, that you would raise up your people to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves. I pray that you would pour out your grace on those who are being mistreated and abused. I pray that you would bring people into their lives to deliver them not only from the circumstances they are in, but to lead them into the salvation that comes through your son Jesus Christ.
Please Lord, bring to my attention injustice that I can help with. Open my eyes to see where I can serve the "least of these." My you pour out your love and compassion for these people through your servant. Speak Lord, I am listening. I long to be obedient to you.
Amen.
