MFM Daily Devotional 8 September 2021 Outline
Caring is a Christian virtue and practical living that stems from a compassionate and loving heart. God is love and everyone that claims to be His children must love and care for their fellow Christians as well as those outside the fold. Right from the time of Adam, God had shown that He cares. He had to take Moses through a humbling experience in order to prepare Him for the divine assignment of leading His people out of bondage in Egypt.
He was shepherding the flock of Jethro in the Midian desert. There he met with the Lord (Exodus 3:1-3). Unknown to him, it was part of the divine package to help him develop a caring heart towards the “stiff-necked” Israelites, his own brethren. Each time they were in need, he cried unto God in prayer for provisions and responses came from heaven to prove the faithfulness of God. Joseph did not fail to care for his brethren in spite of their hostile behaviour towards him in the years past. He took care of them at a time when famine was in the land (Gen. 45).
This is also true of King David, the Psalmist, a man with a kind and compassionate heart. No wonder he is called the man after God’s heart. Though he fell into sin at a time, he was quick to repent and was restored. It is written concerning both himself and Joseph, “that the Lord was with him” at all times. David remembered to show kindness to Mephibosheth, the crippled son of his late friend, Jonathan (2 Sam. 9). Dearly beloved, do you ever stretch your hand of fellowship towards others at any time? (Phil 2:4).
You have so much yet you give away so little (Prov. 11:24-25). You need to turn a new leaf! Caring is not only in giving out money, but also in showing love and affection towards those who have been forsaken and forgotten, the afflicted and the oppressed.
Remember, you don’t have to be rich to be a care giver. God is looking out for someone who can stand in this position, lighten the burdens of others, bring joy to people’s hearts and smiles to their faces. You can be that person!
Motivational Quote
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle; show some care, become a channel of blessing to someone.
Prophetic Word
May you be blessed as the Lord uses you to bring smiles to someone’s face today, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN
The King of love my Shepherd
- The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever. -
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth. -
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing bro’t me. -
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me. -
Thou spread’st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth:
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth! -
And so thru all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.
