Isaiah 58:9-12

God promises that if we care for those in need

You’ll be like a well-watered garden,

a gurgling spring that never runs dry.

For this devotional we will be using Sundays—not part of Lent—to celebrate the what we do well for our faith. I encourage you to look at what you give away, what you do to support people in need. Look at your personal giving, and your congregation’s giving, and what we do as a nation. Today we might give thanks for the forty hour work week, for SNAP and WIC benefits, for the ways our church pantries and meals feed the community.

Isaiah 58:6-7

What I’m interested in seeing you do is:

sharing your food with the hungry,

inviting the homeless poor into your homes,

putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,

being available to your own families.

You, that is the nation, are called to care for others.
