"Take Care of Your Own"

Scripture Read:

Deuteronomy 14 - 17

Insight Verse(s):

⁴ except when there may be no poor among you; for the LORD will greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance— ⁵ only if you carefully obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today. ⁶ For the LORD your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

⁷ “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, ⁸ but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.

Insight Gained:

We should have no poor people, God has given me enough wealth and security to help others out. He has blessed me and wants me to bless others. I have gifts, if I don't use them, they are wasted. If my finances are spent on myself they are wasted, if I spend my time, gifts and money to serve God and his people I will forever be more blessed.

My Prayer to God:

Thank you for my blessings Lord, I love them, you, and all those you put in my life.
