During devotions this morning, I ran across a few things that I thought were important to share.
Proverbs 28:27 - "Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed."
*Think about it. God promises that He will supply our needs... But often times He goes about doing that through using the resources he has given us - people! I can't help but ask myself... What am I doing right now that is helping God supply others' needs? Volunteering isn't only about giving to people, it is about being of service to GOD! How exciting AND motivating. :)
Proverbs 29:7 - "The godly care about the rights of the poor; the wicked don't care at all."
Proverbs 31:20 - "She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy."
*This verse [really all of Proverbs 31] is describing the ideal wife/woman. Not only does she do for her family and put their needs before her own, she also gives to those less fortunate. Now all the specifics are not something we can conquer in one sitting or even one year; however, these qualities are something we should use as an inspiration - something to aspire to in all of our futures.
Goal for the week: find a real way to give back!
<3 Until next time, Jordan Leigh
