Mission Trip Prayer & Devotional Planنموونە

"God’s Justice"

In the beginning God made a cosmos that was “very good.” In the end, it will become even better. This is the justice of God that we wait for and work for. It’s what your mission trip is all about.

We are talking about a real place — a city. The people who live there will have their bodies back, new and improved. God will live there too! The residents of this city will no longer fear death. There will be no crying or pain. The long era of injustice, ruled over by death, will have ended.

We aren’t there yet. But we must not lose the sense of direction we get from knowing where we are going. This is God’s destination for the world that he made. He wants it wholly beautiful again. He will make it so.

As you are about to begin your mission trip, keep this heavenly city in mind. Try to imagine the changes it will bring to whatever places you go. It’s not just a dream. It’s the future, and you are privileged to live as part of that future.

Prayer: Lord, make me an ambassador of your new city. Help me to represent its values. Help me to live its life in advance, for all to see.
