A Daily Devotion for Tuesday, April 5

Isaiah 58:7

Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

My head is filled with lots of jumbled thoughts this morning. I think the photo is beautiful. But it brings to mind the needs of so many who live in that city, and barely make it from day to day. To live and work there, you pass the homeless and poverty-stricken each time you set foot outside the door. God does not want us to harden our hearts to what we see. He knows our strengths and our limitations. But he sees the good we do, the times we give and the comfort we share. No kindness is insignificant. No sharing goes unnoticed by God.

Heavenly Father, help me to see and be ready for opportunities to share. You place these opportunities in my path- may I stop to help, and not stop to step over. Amen
