Are the needy precious to you?

A friend sent this New Living Translation Bible Life Application Daily Devotional to me last week. It's a great devotional. Read it and ask yourself if you are doing all you can to help the needy.

"He will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and he will rescue them. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him." Psalm 72:12-14


God cares for the needy, the afflicted, and the weak because they are precious to him. If God feels so strongly about these needy ones and loves them so deeply, how can we ignore their plight?


Examine what you are doing to reach out with God’s love. Are you ignoring their plight or are you meeting their needs?


Join us at Love In Action in reaching out to the homeless, the needy, and those in jail. Remember what Jesus tells us in Matthew 25:40, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (NIV)
