Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
John 17:17
“You must not oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be a foreigner, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:9
“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Matthew 25:37,38,40
O God of all, there is so much need in this world! So many people are hungry; too many people must flee their homelands, and there is so much injustice that it seems there is no hope. Yet, you give us gifts of time and talent and treasure to use to bring hope and healing to a hurting world. May we always remember that sharing food, refuge, and justice is ministry. Amen.
