Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:26-27
QUESTIONS:
- How can we speak life into every situation we encounter today?
- Where can we find the orphans, the widows, and those who need our care, and how can we care for them today?
- How have you seen your faith play a role in serving others? And how have you been changed because of your decision to care intentionally for those who are hurting?
PRAYER: God, help me to love those who are hardest to love. Conform me to your likeness and help me to go deeper in my relationships with you. Open my eyes up to those who are hurting and help me to respond like you would respond. Amen.
