The Word:

The Poor: Their needs, Our Response
Day 20 - Final

Isaiah 1:17
Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, please the case of the widow.

Today I will rap up this series on the poor - its been a blessing to do - its stepped on my toes several times- I was just praying for God to show me how to be more like Him - when we are not faithful HE remains faithful - when we blow it - He is still there to pick us up from the dirt - maybe these words will help you today to realize that God never wants us to be bogged down in the failures of the past - the past is gone - so if you have not helped the poor - today is a new day - you can begin today - God is really moving in my heart for the poor these days - but as ive said before - its not the physically poor that need our help - it may be those who are well feed - maybe those who seem to have it all - and yet struggle - those who have a Dad but they have little to do with them - the child who is always made fun of because he is different -those are poor - those are those in need- the widowed - how hard must it be for those who have lost their mate through death - or those who have lost a loved one to drugs or alcohol - maybe you know someone who has gone through the death of a child or a loved one - maybe someone who has gone through a divorce -those God has called us to help as well - so whatever you do - ask God -whatever you do - remember you are doing for HIS glory for the audience of One - not for others and not to earn your way - that's already been paid for - how it must hurt God to say we must earn what His Son already paid for - and once He redeems you - there is no fear of losing your relationship with Him -some feel its based on the deeds you do, not what JESUS did - HE PAID IT ALL!

I hope you have enjoyed this series - Id love some feedback -so drop me a line - Please I plead with you all to do something for someone else - get your focus off yourself and seek hard after God - there are many in need around you today - be JESUS to them!

The Final Word:
HELP YOUR FELLOW MAN FOR GOD'S GLORY!
CHRIST shows us what it means to have compassion!
