Written by Catherine Montgrain from the Village Church
When I discovered I had cancer in 2016, I didn’t know much about the prophet Micah and how he spoke about God’s requirements of us. Now, the prophet’s simple instructions and words from God run through my head regularly, and I thank bible study for this knowledge given to me. My cancer experience and survival took me to the depths of humility. I became truly humble. We rely on other people for our life and put ourselves completely into God’s hands, trusting our doctors and nurses through this too. This was a very hard and untried path to take and I learned to walk humbly with God, walking through all the possible problems with help from God and loved ones around me. The kindness of the medical staff also made me vow to be kinder myself. I needed a very strong regimen of chemotherapy, and it has taken a big toll on my body, even today, though I am 10 years cancer-free. Yeah! Possibly, my health issues have made me more open to other people’s problems and lives, and following justice is something I believe in deeply.
What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. [Micah 6:8]
