Gray Moral Monday from page B5 help them move forward instead of going back to the time rights were violat ed. The litany is below: A Litany for Voting Rights Sabbath Leader: Is this not the fast that I choose? To fight for the right to vote for leaders who seek to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every foe? People: We remember thousands of little towns where countless, unnamed ancestors stood in their human dignity to cast a ballot. Leader: Is this not the fast that I choose? To fight for the right to vote for leaders who seek to share bread with the hungry, to bring the homeless poor into home, and to clothe to naked? People: We remember the Selma to Montgomery March, Bloody Sunday and the Edmund Pettus Bridge and all the scared places where lives were given for voting rights of all people. We honor the legacy of our forebearers and mass protests that established the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We celebrate the successes and sacrifices of all those who have gone before us and bequeathed to us this great heritage and we commit ourselves, our very lives, to preserve every man and woman's right to vote. Then we shall call and our God will answer. Leader: Too many serve their own interest on their fast day, and oppress all their workers. They fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike with a wicked fist. People: We must choose this day whom we will serve so that the light of our faithfulness will break forth like the dawn and our healing will spring up quickly. Then we shall call and our God will answer. Leader: Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many gen erations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach the restorer of streets to live in. I People: We will not be silent or denied the right to vote. For we have come too far by faith. We will remain faithful to the God of all the weary years and hopeful for a brighter tomor row for all God's people. We will exercise our right to vote and get others to do the same. Peppers from page B5 already knows the answers to. Their sacrifices are purely ritual; their hearts are not in them. Therefore, God takes no pleasure in any of it! No matter how grand the gesture, God knows and is not fooled. Micah reminds them of the covenant (verse 8). The chapter closes with Judah being found guilty and the sentence given. Life's Application: The Lord require three standards from His people - to act justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him. Acting justly means to be fair in our dealings with oth ers. It doesn't exploit and then make a law to justify the act. To act justly also implies a respect for one another, not a select few! To act justly means that one person wouldn't put harm (injustice, pollution, high taxes, food deserts, fracking, etc.) in the communities of other peo ple. Loving mercy is the second requirement. Having a passionate regard for others best defines this term. This is a genuine desire to help others not an outside show. Business deci sions that keep wages low preventing a descent life and then free or reduced food is parceled out as a gesture of "giving back" to the commu nity. What a slap in the face! Luke 12:48b says 'To whom much is given, much is required." Loving mercy indicates a warm and open heart toward those in need. Help without damaging the person's dignity. Baptists, you know what I am implying. According to David C. Cook's Commentary, "Echoes," "walking humbly with God" in Hebrew means to be modest or pru dent in one's actions. The Dead Sea Scrolls, also in Cook, further suggest that one walks skillfully and expertly in God \ commands. Simply put, a child of God should live as His earthly representative. It's not an*act or a day of the week. It is a lifestyle for leaders and the rest of us as well. Amen? Amen! MOUNTAIN VI t.W SKIN^CARE Paul D.
