Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. — Psalm 68:4

I can’t help but think of what James, Jesus’s brother, said: “Pure religion, undefiled before God the Father, is this: keep yourself clean and help orphans and widows in need.” In his ministry, Jesus made it clear that this was what the Father wanted. Now, it’s up to us to keep going!

Prayer

Father, may my actions, my compassion, and my ministry serve as a reflection of your love and concern for those who need your care, protection, and love. Give me eyes that can see this need more clearly and a heart that can respond more confidently so that I can better show how much you love me. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
