WORLD RELIEF

THOUGHT: I'm just one. How can i do anything to help my war-torn world?

STUBBORN OUNCES 

You say the little efforts that I make

will do no good: they never will prevail

to tip the hovering scale

where Justice hangs in balance.

                                            I don't think

I ever thought they would.

But I am prejudiced beyond debate

in favor of my right to choose which side

shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.

                                 Bonaro W. Overstreet,  Hands Laid upon the Wind, 1955

WORD:

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless in this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

DEED:

Today, let me not just think it's a good idea to pray for those that are bringing help and healing to the orphans and widows of this world. Instead, Lord, help me pray and then partner with You by giving of my time, my treasure and my talents.

Lord, help us to practice what we pray.
