My Scripture for you today: “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness” (Psalm 150:1-2).
Dear JPT Member,
I have to share with you what God spoke to my heart
Today I read Deuteronomy 15:7-11 in “The Message” and I just had to share with you what God spoke to my heart:
When you happen on someone who’s in trouble or needs help among your people with whom you live in this land that GOD, your God, is giving you, don’t look the other way pretending you don’t see him. Don’t keep a tight grip on your purse. No. Look at him, open your purse, lend whatever and as much as he needs. Don’t count the cost. Don’t listen to that selfish voice saying, “It’s almost the seventh year, the year of All-Debts-Are-Canceled,” and turn aside and leave your needy neighbor in the lurch, refusing to help him. He’ll call GOD’s attention to you and your blatant sin. Give freely and spontaneously. Don’t have a stingy heart. The way you handle matters like this triggers GOD, your God’s, blessing in everything you do, all your work and ventures. There are always going to be poor and needy people among you. So I command you: Always be generous, open purse and hands, give to your neighbors in trouble, your poor and hurting neighbors.
When I read these verses, I thought of you. God spoke to my heart and told me to tell you how much your support means to the Jewish people and to say, “Thank you.” What you are doing through your support of this ministry today and every day is exactly what this passage is talking about. To God be all the glory!
