"After this the Lord appointed seventy[-two] others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." Luke 10:1-2
Advent Day 10 - Do you see the need? I heard a story recently of someone seeing the need. They gave away their only money for Christmas gifts for their kids to a neighbor in another town. It wasn't an easy decision because there was no opportunity to make it up before Christmas. But not for God, the very day it was given away, God provided more than what was given away from an unexpected source. We each have an opportunity to see and give, listen to the struggles of others, it is enough to break your heart except that God placed them there for you to see. He needs an entry into their lives and that entry is You because He intends to visit. You have a choice today to, see the need and stop, or walk on past. May God richly bless you with eyes to see and ears to hear, there are a lot of lost people not knowing the way.
What is God saying to me: Believe
Dear Father, I see the need and am stepping out on faith knowing You have sent me to go ahead of You. Help each of us see the need and stand in the gap, may we give of our time, our talent and our resources knowing it all comes from You. You richly bless those who see You in their neighbor, who see Your creation being beaten down by following the ways of the world. Give us strength to step out on faith, not knowing the answer but trusting in You, for You always provide. Prayers for two young families, one knows You and is obedient and the other is like sheep without a shepherd, bless each of them richly this Advent season. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
