We all complain about what we don't have, but we all need to look at how blessed we are and be glad that even though it may be high we have a utility bill to pay, because that means we have a home to live in.
Let us all be alert to the needs of others and even though we may have to help someone in a small way we need to still be available for the Lord to use us in great and mighty ways. He will make what small gifts we have to offer large in the eyes of those that need it.
Reflect on Proverbs 31:20, “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” (NIV)
If I take an honest inventory of “my” belongings, do I really need four sets of towels? Do I need to stop for my special coffee this morning? Do my kids truly need that many Christmas presents this year? Who could benefit if I say “no” to any of these questions?
Power Verses:
Acts 2:44-47, “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” (NIV)
Matthew 25:45, “He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’” (NIV 1984)
Just some thoughts for today!!!
