BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joel 1, Joel 2, Joel 3

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deut. 15: 7-15

Memory verse: Gal. 6:9

 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Motivational Quote: A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle; show some care, become a channel of blessing to someone.

Prophetic Word: May you be blessed as the Lord uses you to bring smiles to someone’s face today, in Jesus’ name.

Caring is a Christian virtue and practical living that stems from a compassionate and loving heart. God is love and everyone that claims to be His children must love and care for their fellow Christians as well as those outside the fold.

Right from the time of Adam, God had shown that He cares. He had to take Moses through a humbling experience in order to prepare Him for the divine assignment of leading His people out of bondage in Egypt.

He was shepherding the flock of Jethro in the Midian desert. There he met with the Lord (Exodus 3:1-3). Unknown to him, it was part of the divine package to help him develop a caring heart towards the “stiff-necked” Israelites, his own brethren.

Each time they were in need, he cried unto God in prayer for provisions and responses came from heaven to prove the faithfulness of God. Joseph did not fail to care for his brethren in spite of their hostile behaviour towards him in the years past. He took care of them at a time when famine was in the land (Gen. 45).

This is also true of King David, the Psalmist, a man with a kind and compassionate heart. No wonder he is called the man after God’s heart. Though he fell into sin at a time, he was quick to repent and was restored. It is written concerning both himself and Joseph, “that the Lord was with him” at all times.

David remembered to show kindness to Mephibosheth, the crippled son of his late friend, Jonathan (2 Sam. 9). Dearly beloved, do you ever stretch your hand of fellowship towards others at any time? (Phil 2:4).

You have so much yet you give away so little (Prov. 11:2425). You need to turn a new leaf! Caring is not only in giving out money, but also in showing love and affection towards those who have been forsaken and forgotten, the afflicted and the oppressed.

Remember, you don’t have to be rich to be a care giver. God is looking out for someone who can stand in this position, lighten the burdens of others, bring joy to people’s hearts and smiles to their faces. You can be that person!

SPECIAL NOTE!
Beloved Reader, the best way to enjoy the best of God is to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord & Saviour.  And remember! John 3:3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye are born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of God.”

If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Lord Jesus come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.
