Deut 15:4a However, there need be no poor people among you….
Lord, You know that there are more ways to be poor than just monetarily. And while monetary issues may be much different now, those lacking joy, hope, peace, compassion, aren’t much different, I suspect.
Deut 15:4b …for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance….
Lord, This is a difficult time, an unprecedented time. There is fear and uncertainty; there is economic hardship. Help us to see, however, that You can, will, and do still richly bless us in many ways if we only have the eyes to see. There is still hope to be found, Your peace and compassion. Help us to seek and see these gifts.
Deut 15:4c …He will richly bless you….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for the reminder that You are still sovereign and still present with us even now, even through this. Help us to seek and to see the blessings that are all around us if we only look carefully. Draw us closer. Amen.
Deut 15:5 …if only you fully obey the LORD your God…
Have a blessed day.
