When
You Did It To One Of The
Least
Of These My Brothers And Sisters,
You
Were Doing It To Me.
Scripture
Matthew
25
34 “Then
the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed
by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation
of the world.
35 For I was
hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was
a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I
was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for
me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then
these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you
hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to
drink? 38 Or
a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you
clothing? 39 When
did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And
the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of
the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to
me!’
Observation
What
we do matters to God! How we live our life, how we serve those around
us, oh yes, it really does matter to our Heavenly Father.
I
don't know who I will see today, but I know that God has put them in
my path, and He is watching to see if I am going to love and value
them as He does.
The
way to serve God is to serve the people that He brings into my life.
So
I guess in a way every day is a test for me.
Okay,
let's see how I do today!
Application
I
will look at every conversation I have today with people at the
hospital as a 'Divine appointment'.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to see the value and worth of every person today as I
visit with them at the hospital. I pray for the right words to say as
I talk to them. Help them to see Jesus in me.
I
pray for any person who may be reading this blog today. Help them to
serve You with all of their heart. Help them to stay away from stupid
sins that would mess up their walk with You. Help me to do the same.
