Scripture:
“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:3 (NIV) Application: We should not look upon successful Christians as solitary units. God blesses us so that we can bless others. Prayer: Dear Father, we pray that all Christians successfully will use the talents You've given them. Please give us spirits of encouragement, not envy, and charity, not selfishness. It's all to Your glory! Amen.

Scripture:
“The God of all comfort...comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Cor. 1:3-4 (NIV) Application: When we give comfort to others, we receive comfort from God for ourselves. God’s the universal reservoir of all things good. We're carriers, taking buckets of comfort to others. As we carry, we’re free to drink liberally from those same buckets that never empty. Prayer: Lord, help the helpers, and comfort the comforters. Amen. Scripture:
“He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.” Deuteronomy 10:18-19 (NIV) Application: We look around and see so many who have different features, different places of origin, and different cultures. God doesn't force us to react to them in any particular way. But He clearly shows us His Way. Prayer: Dear Father, I pray that I'll be more like You, to those who are not like me. Amen. |
