CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Is time, address it now

The Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can . . . find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place …” He replied, “You give them something to eat.” — Luke 9:12-13

It is important to realize that the people who heard the gospel and who were healed and fed were not saved and sanctified saints; they were not fully committed disciples who were ready to follow Jesus. Yet when Jesus saw their hurts and needs, he responded with love, knowing that many of them would abandon and even turn against him later. Even so, Jesus was moved with compassion, seeing their need v13. In the same way, he has compassion today when he sees the hurts and needs of anyone created in the image of God.

We have daily opportunities to come alongside the people around us. It could mean drop­ping by the hospital or the nursing home for a visit. Perhaps it involves cooking a meal for someone. Maybe it includes simply listening to another person’s story. When we seek to provide what Jesus offers, we reflect a beautiful picture of God’s love and care for others.

PRAYER

Lord, help us to see the needs of others not as interruptions to our day, but rather as opportunities to reflect love. In Jesus’ name Amen.
