Switching Our Focus

“Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:9 (NIV)

Struggling to get through your day?  We all face moments where money is tight or our emotional needs seem lacking.  And a smile, a hug, or a friendly face is something we long for. Whatever we are going through, we can be certain someone around us is going through the same or more. In our busy lives it’s easy to overlook the homeless, the single moms that need a sitter to get a little peace and quite for a bit, or kids at school or church that never seem to have clothes that fit or are not right for the season.

As Christians, God expects us to speak up and help others out when we can. A lot of times “speaking up” can be the act of helping someone else. You know the old saying, “Actions speak louder than words.”  Take the time to find a way to help someone around you. God gives us divine appointments every day, we just have to be willing to see them and act upon them. The blessings we receive when we do so, is beyond measure.

“Dear God, Open our eyes to see opportunities to help someone in need. Give us the courage to stand up and help out even when others around us don’t approve. May we take the blessings you have given us and share with others.”

For His Glory,
