Psalm 119:57-64 Ezekiel 27:12-28:10; James 5:13-20
The Lord will reply to his people: "I am sending you grain, new wine and
oil, enough to satisfy you fully." Joel 2:19 (NIV)
If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you
says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill", and yet you do
not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? James 2:15-16
God of the poor and destitute, bring us together to serve your needy
children. Forgive our urge to gather everything for ourselves yet ignore
the needs of others. Draw near to the orphans of the world and help them
thrive in spite of their lack. We pray our churches will flourish so we
may take responsibility for the need in your world. Amen.
