Verse Of The Day
Friday, December 13, 2019
When you are harvesting in your
field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it.
Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
This
is clearly a passage old Scrooge hadn't seen! God has always set aside a
provision for the poor. In this time of the year when many people world
over take special time to look after those who are less fortunate,
let's open our date books and schedule a week to dedicate time for
special generosity in May and in August to go with a heart committed to
be generous all the time. Let's not let generosity and concern
for those
less fortunate be a once a year thing!
My Prayer...
For all of your wonderful gifts of kindness and grace, I thank you, dear Father and God. Please stir my heart to care for others as you do. Please help me keep that spirit of concern alive all year long and not just around Christmas time. In Jesus' name I ask this. Amen.
