Morning Devotion
7 “The Lord gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the godly. 9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.” Psalms 146:7-9
Is this the God we see in the Bible? Is this the God we pray to? Where do we find this God in our Christian lifestyle?
The truth is, the God we worship in the Bible has always taken the poor, downtrodden and displaced people seriously.
He expects us to do the same. We serve God when we serve others. Ask God to show you ways you can serve the needy. He cares. Do we?
Let's pray: Lord, we confess that we need to be more compassionate. We need to be more proactive in helping the lonely, the hurt and the distraught. Please show us the ways we can start to love those in need the way You do. Even today, lead us to someone we can help. This is the we are here for.
AMEN
