Scripture: “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.” Exodus 22:22 (NIV) Application: We sometimes think we must do great, headline-grabbing things to be justified in God's eyes. Not so. Remember that widow or that orphan you heard about at work, at school, or on the news? Do they have social services to help them in their need? Have you offered them your companionship? Have you prayed for them? Have you looked beyond their skin color, national origin, income or education level and seen them as humans as equally valuable as yourself? Sadly, the poor are more likely to be taken advantage of than helped. They're easy targets. What simple thing can you do quietly that will give them help? Though the world’s headlines won’t record your act, God will. Prayer: Father God, I open my eyes and heart to those people I once ignored. Help me help them. I love You. Help me love them, too Amen.
