How can we Serve the needy, this Holiday Season?

A sobering thought, this Thanksgiving and Christmas season as we choose our time for ministering to others or worrying about what we are going to get?

““Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭41‬-‭46‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

It is not how Many bible studies, Church services, tithes, church social events, etc., that we do…….Not saying these are bad, but if its a checklist, a thing you do, ant not a reflection of your heart, walking in Faith, with the living God????, then read Matt 7.. Where Jesus says, I NEVeR knew you!!.

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

God is a keeper of his promises

The Lord is FAITHFUL. God is faithful in regard to creation (Ps 119:90), His promises (Dt 7:9; 2Co 1:18; Heb 10:23), salvation (1Th 5:24), temptation (1Co 10:13), suffering (1Pe 4:19), and here faithful to strengthen and protect from Satan (cf. Jn 17:15; Eph 6:16; 1Th 3:5).

Spent my morning listening to a fantastic sermon on Matthew 26 along with reference to Exodus 12. A beautiful picture of God fulfilling his promises to All people, of rescue and deliverance from bondage of sin and slavery. This picture reminds me every time I see one of theses sunrises, that Jesus is our Hope.

Father, we get so busy…….Help us to be aware of the people around us, that we might be sensitive to their needs and what might they may be going through.

Who is our brother or sister that comes to mind, that we might help in their time of need? Does anyone come to mind?

We are Overcomers…..

God’s plan for us, has always been for us to be reconciled with him, no matter our circumstances. We will have trials, but we can find comfort, in knowing that Jesus had overcome the world, and we can as well, through our faith in him, and with his helper (The Holy Spirit), who lives within us.
