When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. — Deuteronomy 24:19
This is clearly a passage old Scrooge hadn't seen! God has always set aside a provision for the poor. In this time of the year when many people world over take special time to look after those who are less fortunate, let's open our date books and schedule a week to dedicate time for special generosity in May and in August to go with a heart committed to be generous all the time.
Let's not let generosity and concern for those less fortunate be a once a year thing!
Thoughts
. Sometimes even the most willing person, who eagerly desires to serve the Lord, does not know what direction to take. Simply wait—but wait in prayer. He will come at the right time to fulfill His vision for you. - L. B. Cowman
. Your past has not come full circle to its complete redemption until you allow Christ to not only defuse it, but also to use it. - Beth Moore
Prayer to Ease and Sickness
Proverbs 4:20-22
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
Psalm 103:2-4
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
