Tuesday, January 14 — Psalm 10:1–11
1 Chronicles 13:1–14:7; Acts 13:8–20a
Whoever is kind to the needy honors God. Proverbs 14:31 NIV
Jesus said to the young man, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:21
God of the poor, help us notice our tendencies to ignore poverty, those without homes, those on the margins. Help us to see our overconsumption, our stuffed homes, our ability to give more than we do now. Let us be generous and kind. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
