Do you trust God enough today to obey Him? He’s not trying to trick you; He means what He says. “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19).
Judah was in trouble. They were exiled to a strange country with a strange language, strange customs, and, most of all, no worship of the true God. They were slaves. They had no rights, and they were stuck for seventy years.
Life is filled with difficulties and disappointments, and salvation does not exempt a person from trials. Christians will face financial struggles and poor health, but God desires to bring them closer to Himself through those trials. He gives us grace to overcome.
Community change only happens through the transforming power of the Gospel. Only Christians with compassion and a willingness to pay the price can make a lasting impact in their neighborhood. If we “pass by” without offering the hope of salvation, who will stop for the lost?
Somewhere in your neighborhood a helpless person is waiting to be shown the love of Christ. Why should we reach those who have nothing to offer and no one to help them?
