What God Is Doing In My Life, Is 62

Isaiah 62

It is all about God's promise to send a Savior.

However, that is not what I want to write about today.

I don't know many unsaved people. Neither does Lynsey. We have been confronted with the theme lately that we are supposed to be living an outwardly focused faith. What does that mean? To me it means that I have been given the grace of God so that I can show it to others. It's about loving God and loving other people.

More specifically, we've been faced with the theme of helping those who cannot help themselves. Widows, orphans, the homeless, the hungry, the naked, the ones in spiritual darkness. It is my responsibility to help these people.

There is something about these kind of people that I can easily associate with. I think it's because their physical condition reminds me of my spiritual condition without Christ. I was once homeless, hungry, naked, ashamed, helpless, spiritually dark. Then when God called me into His grace, those things changed. There is something about serving those people who are like that physically that is directly connected with the heart of God.

God cares about the homeless.

We are praying as to what God would have us do in reaction to this theme we have faced in His Word. We know it's not enough for us to just understand that it's important to be mindful of homeless people. We have the Word of God so that we will respond to it. We have to literally feed the homeless in some way. Right now we're not doing that. We are not following a theme of God.

Praying for the courage to be obedient to the Word of God.
