Here’s “a call to worship for a difficult
text: the binding of Isaac,” writes its
author, Eliza Buchakjian-Tweedy.
Call to
Worship
(inspired by Genesis 22: 1-14; Micah 6:8; Deuteronomy 6:5)
What does the Lord require of you?
To do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with our God.
What does God command of us?
To love God with all our heart,
and all our soul,
and all our mind,
and all our strength,
and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
God does not call us to ease or to comfort.
But to presence, and abundance,
and grace in our struggle.
Let us worship the God who believes in us,
and trusts in us, and abides with us.
Let us worship the God who will ask much of
us,
but will be beside us every step of the
way.
