Act Justly. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly.

by Leslie Ann Jones March 16, 2020

Act Justly. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly.-Muscadine Press

The prophet Micah first spoke these words during a time of great trouble for the people of God. Granted, it was a much different kind of trouble than the trouble that we're facing today, but it was trouble nonetheless, and these words still speak.

What does God expect from his people right now? The same thing that he has always expected from us. That we would act justly and love mercy and walk humbly with him. One day at a time. As we watch and wait over the next few weeks, let's not neglect these things.

As believers, we don't respond to tragedy and uncertainty in the same way that the world does, because our hope lies not in this world, but in heaven. So we do what's right, even if it means sacrifice, and we look out for the vulnerable among us, because that's the way of Jesus. He lowered himself to lift us higher, and we must do the same.

For me, right now, that means staying home with our girls and taking care of our family as best as I can, making the best use of the groceries and supplies that we have in the house, calling up some older ladies from church to make sure they have everything they need, trying to support other small business owners as they ride out this storm, sharing light and hope and truth in deep darkness, and making my heart happy in the Lord before I do anything else each day.

It may not seem like much, but it's all that I can do. So I'll do it as faithfully as I can today, tomorrow, and the next day too. Will you join me?

Encouragement Cards from Muscadine Press
Everyone Needs a Hype Squad

by Leslie Ann Jones May 05, 2022

Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.

But Dust | Muscadine Press
But Dust

by Guest Author April 11, 2022

We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.

No Time to Waste
No Time to Waste

by Leslie Ann Jones March 31, 2022

What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
