God wants more for you than you can imagine. Today, be encouraged to release your faith according to His Word in prayer.
Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to
the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of
the blind; The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves
the righteous [the upright in heart]. The Lord protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow; But He makes crooked the way
of the wicked.
— Psalm 146:7-9
God speaks frequently in the Bible of
our responsibility to the oppressed, hungry, widows, orphans, fatherless
and foreigners. He mentions those who are lonely, neglected, forgotten
and devalued. He cares deeply for the oppressed and the hungry.
People can be hungry in many ways. They
may have plenty of food to eat but still be starving to feel valuable
and loved. God lifts up those who are bowed down with sorrow; He
protects the stranger and upholds the fatherless and the widow. How does
He do this? He works through people. He needs committed, submitted,
dedicated people who live to meet the needs of others.
Mother Teresa once said, “Do not think
that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need
is to love without getting tired.”
I have come to understand that many people
we encounter daily are just trying to survive until someone rescues
them—and that someone could be you or me. Let’s allow God’s love for the
hurting and broken to work through us, meeting the needs of those who
are hurting spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Let’s love without
getting tired.
