I know with every thing going on in the world today, we are tending to focus on what is going on in our lives and the lives of our love ones that we are not focusing outside of our comfort zone.
But we must. There are so many hurting people and those people should not be looking to the government to save or help them.
Who they need to look at is, us, the church, and frankly, we are letting them down and I believe we are going to stand in front of God and give an account for all these times we could have been the hope they needed but instead focused more on what was going on in our lives.
We have an opportunity to be God’s servant's may we rise to the challenge.
God Bless.
Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
Lord God, do not let our hearts become hardened to the injustice and desperation of those who are in great need! Let your Holy Spirit ignite in us love and generosity that springs forth like a river of living water! Your heart, Lord God, is for those in need. Help us to follow Your example. Isaiah 58:6-7 (NIV) says, “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"
