The Word:
The Poor: Their needs, Our Response
Day 17
Psalm 41:1
Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble!
The LORD is on the lookout for those who will regard the weak and poor - those who are willing to sacrifice from their plenty to help give to those with less - its our mission as Christ followers to show His love at all times -there is never a time we can take the day off from being a Christ follower - to be sure there are times when we just don't feel like doing what God has called us to do - I believe that its sin if we allow that to prevent us from doing the work He has called us to do - if we would regard the poor - the weak - then God promises to take care of us - not that this means we won't struggle -there are days when a look into my bank account shows lack of funds - but its ok - God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and more - He owns it all - its all on loan to us - when we leave this place we have to give it back - I admit ive been consumed by possessions - if any of you have bought a new house -you now how hard it is not to think its more then it is - after signing your life away - you walk in and enjoy the fresh and new surroundings - only years later you see the ware and tear - we all spend a great deal of time caring for our homes- not that there is anything wrong with that - but if we are not careful - it takes too much of our focus - we begin to feel this ours or we earned it -but the truth is it all belongs to God -and greater still are those HE created that have real needs that are life or death - there are many hurting around us - many with a need of a simple smile or hug - if we look we will see the poor that are in need and we would give ourselves away for them - the purpose of this series is not only to tell you what's out there but to get out and help - faith is an action word! We are to be God's hands and feet -let's walk HIS way today!
The Final Word:
God gave us plenty so we can share it with others!
CHRIST is our abundance - our sustenance!

We often forget Phillipians 4:19 - we forget we can do ALL things through CHRIST who give us strength!
