Matthew 5:42 KJV — Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 27 May 2024
Now the injunction to be unconditionally generous is a tall order for anyone who is not led by the Holy Spirit as it is counterintuitive to the dysfunctional nature of human beings. People often tend to withhold helping and supporting others, pandering instead to self and self preservation to the extent that they neglect to show mercy to others who are in need. This behaviour is contrary to Jehovah’s injuction to love others with the same measure that you love yourself. It amounts to wilful disobedience of the divine will and can only earn you divine displeasure. No one can survive being on the wrong side of the most high God, so I implore you to walk away from your rebellion and embrace the wisdom that only the Holy Spirit can give. Let God’s Spirit teach you what it means to be merciful and go your way showing mercy to those who come your way.
Pray: Eternal Father, I have hitherto been selfish, forgive me Lord and teach me to be merciful to others as You are. #Mok
