MIC Check

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

  • Entering into the pain
  • I would rather abstract away

Immanuel Approach Memo

I am… a thief.

For all the right reasons
And the wrong ones too

I crave beauty
Holiness
Justice
Virtue
Righteousness

But I don’t know
How to get it honestly

So I lie
Cheat
Steal
Deceive

To find something
I can hold onto
To remind me of goodness

Even if it’s counterfeit

I am not looking for Jesus.

But He is looking for me
And maybe
He is what I was looking for
All along

He finds me
And says:

“I am so glad
You recognize me
Because…”

“I have a job for you!”

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

  • Ashamed
  • Accepted
  • Hungry & Thirsty
  • Confused
  • Wonder

Scripture

There was a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim. He said to his mother, “When someone stole your eleven hundred shekels of silver, I overheard you speak a curse over the thief. Well, it turns out, I have the money. I’m the one who took it. Here—I’m bringing it back.”
Immediately, his mother, wanting to revoke her curse, said: “O my son! May Yahweh bless you!
So he returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, but she said to him, “I give it back to you, for I solemnly dedicate this silver to Yahweh for my son to make a carved image, an idol covered with silver.”
So from the silver he returned to his mother, she took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who molded them into an idol and overlaid the idol with silver. Micah kept the idol in his house.
Now Micah had a shrine, and he made some idols and a counterfeit ephod and ordained one of his sons as his priest.
In those days, Israel had no king. People did whatever they wanted to do.
