Devos for March 10th (By Hannah)

Life Journal Reading: Duet. 15:1-11, Gal. 1
Application:
Deuteronomy 15:9-10 “Do not be mean spirited and refuse someone a loan because the year for cancelling debts is close at hand. If you refuse to make the loan and the needy cry out to the Lord, you will be considered guilty of sin. Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you”
In these verses I feel like the Lord was trying to get my attention regarding my willingness to give. I always do my best to tithe every chance I get some sort of income, but I hold tight to other things in my life that I could give away to help others in need; for example my time and effort. I often think of ways to serve other people but I guess I don’t always follow through with it because I think the people won’t appreciate it. But in reality the service isn’t done to get gratification it is done so the person or people can live better and know the love of Christ.  We can’t let the fact that we may not get anything in return stop of from serving because the scripture says that God will bless us.
Prayer:
Lord I am so thankful for all that you have done for me in my life. I should feel honored that I am able to help other people and share your love. Help me to see that it’s not about me and how I feel but it is about everyone else. I pray for motivation and boldness to step out and meet a need that I know is out there. Help me to make a difference in people’s lives and share the love of Christ. I love you immensely. In Jesus name Amen.
