Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

- 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!”

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.”
Judges 17:1-6 TPT
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.
