Scripture

Deuteronomy 10

17 “For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. 18 He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. 19 So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. 20 You must fear the LORD your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone. 21 He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes.

Observation

Several weeks ago I had someone in our congregation come to me and asked me if our church could help feed children that live in countries where that without help they are sure to meet certain death. As I read this passage I immediately began to think about her request.

Application

I will encourage this church member to help our church begin a ministry to help orphans and the poor.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for your word. Thank you for not forgetting the poor and the orphans and I pray that you help us develop a ministry to help them. You are a Great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality. Help us show no partiality too. In Jesus Name…Amen.
