Scripture: But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.
Psalm 9:18
Words of Inspiration: Individuals matter to God. Jesus' healing of the blind man had lasting, positive affects on that one man, his soul, and probably the souls of his family, neighbors, and descendants. That was enough to merit Jesus' precious time. Sometimes I hesitate to serve, thinking, 'What difference will it make? Nothing ever changes; poverty will never end.' In that thought, I am unlike Jesus. It makes a difference to one person, and even if all the good that comes of my service stops right there (which is unlikely) that is enough. It was enough for Jesus. He, the God of the universe, was content to touch one person's life.

Prayer: Lord, I praise you that you are a God of compassion who values the fate of each individual. Continue to provide Austin, Cary, and Ciona with your strength, grace, wisdom and comfort as they come face to face with needs & hopes of the poor that have been ignored & crushed, and the life-altering effects of extreme poverty. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Amen
