Living for the greater good

You know God can raise millions of dollars if he had too, but He chooses not too.

What He wants is the hearts of Christians to lovingly sacrifice ourselves and what we have, for others. To be a fragrant offering.

As Christians it is our responsibility to do something about poverty. Proverbs 31:8-9 remind us; "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

I have a frustration for those who 'do the talk' and 'pretend that they care', and yet do nothing.

Lord, raise up a Holy Discontent in us for those who have no voice and are treated without dignity and justice. You have given us resources to meet the need, challenge us to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly before you.

Amen?
