Fair Trade
‘For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works which God prepared in advance for us to do’
(Ephesians 2:10).
Ros is a dear friend of mine who has given years of her life to the Fair Trade movement.
Why does she do this? She knows and teaches just how many people are exploited
in the production of goods and how unjust this is. She cannot change everything in a sinful world,
but she seeks and finds the good works which God has prepared for her to walk
in and as a result teaches many of us what is happening.
She is a blessing to others around the world. We can all do such things.
Question for thought: Why don’t I pray each day that God will help me find
and do the good works which he has prepared for me to walk in?
Gracious Lord, we bring before you the situation in Myanmar
and especially pray for the Diocese of Mandalay. Please sustain the members
as they face many difficulties politically and personally.
May your Spirit enable them to have courage and protect them from oppression.
