Rescue the perishing;
don’t hesitate to step in and help.
If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,”
will that get you off the hook?
Someone is watching you closely, you know—
Someone not impressed with weak excuses.
1 CORINTHIANS 12:26 (NCV)
If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, all the other parts share its honor.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God calls us to stand in solidarity with people in need.
DAILY FODDER
What kinds of excuses do you use to keep from helping?
PRAYER
Gracious Savior, thank you for rescuing the perishing! You've called us to join you in your rescue work but I confess I experience compassion fatigue. There is so much hurt all around me. Recharge my personal batteries and energize me for the calling. I want to join you in standing with those who are hurting. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
