Jan 16th (Matt. 11:5)
Often times we think of the poor as one without a nickel. But in reality the poor is the one without hope. Without the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ we are poor in spirit. The Bible mentions a lot about meeting the needs of the poor. Our first thoughts go to starving children, homeless, orphans and others who are financially strained.
What about the abundance of wealthy people in towns all over America or anywhere else on this planet but are spiritually malnourished. We often skip over someone who seems to have it all together. They have a big house, nice car, boat, toys, family and friends or whatever the equation but they are poor in spirit. Like Jesus did, lets give the good news to the poor. No matter their situation.
(prayer) Lord, open my eyes to see the poor that are in need. I do believe we should help those less fortunate but I don't want to overlook those who look ok on the outside yet are starving on the inside. Amen.
