Psalm 37:18-24
18 “The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever. 19 In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. “
The LORD knows our troubles and is working all things together for good. He promises us that we will not be put to shame in the days of evil, we will have abundance in times of famine, and we have a heritage that will last forever! So, hold on to the LORD and all that He promises. -We live in a time of social media, cell phones and many other connecting devices but we also live in a time when there seems to be more lonely people than ever before.
As a child of GOD, we are never alone. JESUS is our friend and our brother and HE will never leave our side. But one of the ways HE makes HIS presence known is by using us to help others. CHRIST has no hands but our hands, no feet but our feet, to do HIS will today.” As members of CHRIST JESUS’ one body, we are to reflect HIS light, share HIS love and touch others with HIS compassion. That one short visit or that one phone call with a human voice may be just what someone needs to make it through another day.
Prayer:
Heavenly FATHER I am so thankful for Your love for me and for all You do for me each day. Thank You for keeping me safe and for Your constant protection. Open my eyes to see the opportunities You give me to help others and to encourage those who are weak or who are lonely. Help me do better and forgive me for all the times I have failed in this. Let me never forget that all I have and all I am is by Your grace and not my own doing. Keep me from being selfish. I ask a special blessing on Your children. Use me LORD to reach out to someone in need today. I humbly pray in JESUS’ Most Gracious Name. Amen.
