Pure and unblemished religion [as it is expressed in outward acts] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit and look after the fatherless and the widows in their distress, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the [secular] world.
James 1:27 AMP
Praise and glory be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Today’s scripture highlights the importance of being a christian in practice and not by word only. It calls for us to put into action some of Jesus’ teachings in relation to supporting the poor.
Caring for the Fatherless and Widows is an act that God endorses and is happy with as in most cases the Fatherless and Widows are vulnerable in society. Let’s do this to put God’s word into practice.
We need to be intentional about this, we need to commit to looking out for someone to support and we shall definitely find someone who needs help. Reach out within your community, the public schools around or even the church.
May we not expect any human reward as care for these widows and fatherless but see it as our God given responsibility.
May the Lord help us to put God’s word into practice and keep ourselves unblemished by the systems of the world. May our giving bring blessings and the love of God to others in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
