Help Those In Need

TODAY’S VERSE
There should be no poor among you – do not be hard-hearted or tightfisted toward them. Instead, be generous and lend them whatever they need.- Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
Deuteronomy 15:4,7,8,11(NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
The Lord cares about those who are poor. Jesus indeed said we will always have the poor with us, but He never said to leave them that way. God knew that circumstances would make some poor and destitute, so God created a system that would make up for life’s struggles and troubles. He told those that have plenty not to be hard-hearted toward those that are poor but rather loan them money so they could provide for their family. How often have we been hard-hearted toward those who are homeless or destitute? Have we been quick to judge and say that it is their fault that they are in need and do not deserve our assistance? Do we turn our backs and hang on to our wallets? This is not God’s desire. Instead, God told His people, “Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.” We are to be salt and light to a lost and dying world. This includes helping those around us who are less fortunate find a way out of poverty. Today, ask God to help you be more generous to those in need.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me see those in need around me through Your eyes of compassion. I pray that You will guide and direct me to being
more generous to those you bring my way.
AMEN
