Deuteronomy 15:1 - 16:20
Be openhanded. Ouch! Especially in this economy, huh?! Chapter 15, verses 7-11, says that we need to be openhanded towards our brothers who are in need. Recently, I've been praying that God would give me opportunities to "pay it forward." I want to be less focused on the balance in my checking, and more focused on the needy around me--the hurting ones that God needs my hands to help.
Luke 13:31 - 14:14
Again, as we see so often in our journey here, just as we are reading about taking care of the poor in Deuteronomy, Jesus is talking to the Pharisees about inviting the poor, the crippled, the lame and blind to your care, and you will be blessed. Jesus is taking it a step further here from just poor, He's going to those that are hurting physically as well. Any one up for a little Matthew 25 ministry?!
Psalm 44:1-12
I love verses 6-8! I'm not going to trust in my own abilities, because I know that they aren't going to accomplish anything. It's through the power of God that things are going to happen and change in my life, and I will in turn give praise to God!
