Gracious Provision

Today’s Reading: Leviticus 19:9-10,14,33-34

Focal Verse: Leviticus 19:10b

“I am the LORD your God.”

People can be cruel. Many children and adults make fun of people with disabilities. They turn their heads away from the poor, and they do not welcome strangers with open arms. God knew the darkness of man’s heart and, so, addressed these issues.

He said, “Don’t take all the harvest I give you. Leave some for the poor” (v.9&10). Do you leave any of your “harvest” for the poor? He also said, “Don’t make things harder for the disabled and don’t mock them” (v. 14). A “less than perfect” human in our eyes is of great value in God’s eyes. And He reminds us, “love the stranger, the immigrant, the different person as if they were born among you” (v.33&34).

God doesn’t discriminate. He gives grace to all…poor, rich…healthy & whole, less than whole…stranger or resident.

He commands us to do the same.

　

Pray for God to give you opportunities to show love and grace to those who are less fortunate or different. Ask Him to teach you to see others as He does
