God’s Word for Today - 16 Aug 2024
Isaiah 58:7 KJV — Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 16 Aug 2024
Do you know that God’s purpose for blessing you and anyone who believes in Christ is for you to be a channel through which others are blessed? Jehovah’s blessing is not for hoarding or for your self-indulgence. So, God is making clear to you in today’s scripture that your self-denial should manifest itself in being intentionally compassionate to those who are in need and giving them all the support that they need based on the ability Jehovah has given you. Your show of religiosity will not score any point with God, but your being merciful and compassionate will endear you to Christ. Are you ready for a transformation in your relationship with Jesus? Learn to be intentional in caring for those who are deprived and oppressed.
Pray: Merciful God, forgive my ignorance and help me to develop a compassionate heart towards those who are in need. #Mok
