How has God’s loving example led you to care for those in need? How does it encourage you to know that in Him “the fatherless find compassion”?

Compassionate God, please open my heart and my arms to children and others who are in need around me.

The Father’s Open Arms

Bible in a Year: Job 3-4, Acts 7:44-60

In you the fatherless find compassion. Hosea 14:3

Today's Scripture: Hosea 14:1-7, 9

Mary Slessor’s compassionate heart led her to open her arms to those in need. The Scottish missionary, born in 1848, served among the people of Okoyong in a distant land. Superstition led people of that region to believe that when twins were born, one was good and one was the child of a demon. This often led to both twins dying—being abandoned to starvation or other dangers. Reflecting the loving heart of God, in time Mary helped save hundreds of the at-risk children, adopting nine as her own!

In his inspired words to the rebellious nation of Israel, the prophet Hosea offers a glimpse into God’s caring heart for children. The prophet said of Him, “In you the fatherless find compassion” (14:3). Hosea stated that God cared for His own and desired to “love them freely” (v. 4). But they needed to turn from their defiance of Him and embrace His ways. They were instructed to turn from pagan deities to the true God who cares for the most helpless, the orphans. And if they returned to God, they’d find forgiveness from the one who would “receive [them] graciously” (vv. 1-2).

As we open our arms to those around us, including at-risk children, we reflect the love of God. Let’s embrace His compassionate heart and extend His care to those in need as He helps us.

Faith Rooted in God

Bible in a Year: Job 1-2, Acts 7:22-43

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

Today's Scripture: Matthew 19:23-26

I was inspired while reading a historical fiction account of the life of Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of Bethune-Cookman University. The stories of her determination and care for others led me to read more about her. One account tells how in the early 1900s, she “described” the buildings at her school for young African American women to a wealthy businessman. But when he visited the “campus,” he found only one building. She’d described her dream to him, hoping that he would invest in the school. Her faith and vision worked together to secure funding. Her school eventually became—and still is—a four-year university.

Bethune is credited with saying: “Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.” Her quote is similar to what Jesus told the astonished disciples who were asking questions about salvation. They were trying to figure out how people could “enter the kingdom of God,” or heaven (Matthew 19:24). They wanted to know “who then can be saved?” (v. 25). Jesus shared with His followers that faith in God was the only way, because “with God all things are possible” (v. 26).

Faith is rooted in a belief in God and His abilities. Faith prompts us to believe in the possibility of things we don’t see yet (see Hebrews 11:1)—like a dream of a school for the underprivileged or an eternal home for those who accept Christ. May God help us see what He sees.

Which is worse: living in total rebellion to God, or trusting in our own efforts to try and gain His favour? That’s the sort of question that forms the backdrop to Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son.
He tells of two sons: a ‘good’, seemingly obedient son and his wild, rebellious younger brother. Their search for fulfilment and purpose could not have looked more different.
The ‘good’ son stayed on the lands owned by his father, working hard to prove himself. The younger, wild son travelled to faraway lands to recklessly burn through his money on parties, self-indulgence, and drink. Who would you say was closer to heaven?
The point of the story is that both needed the same grace. Their lives may have looked different, but neither one is actually shown to be in their father’s house. Both were on the outside, even the older son who worked the grounds. Both were trying to do things their own way, rather than simply receiving and living in the generosity of their father. Whether we’re ‘good’ or ‘bad’—if we’re rebellious or obedient—we all need God’s grace. At our very worst, He doesn’t turn His face away, but runs to greet us like the father did for his younger son. And if we’re proud like the older son, He still stands ready to embrace us. We have no merit to bring; nothing to offer. All we contribute to our salvation is thankfulness.
LUKE 15:11-32

Shining Faces

Bible in a Year: Esther 9-10, Acts 7:1-21

When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant. Exodus 34:30

Today's Scripture: Exodus 34:29-35

“He has a sugar face!” our vet exclaimed as she gave our young dog his annual checkup. “A sugar face?” I asked. “It’s a term used for retrievers whose faces turn prematurely white,” she replied, smiling. “It’s just a sign of the sweetness inside.”

Reflecting on that moment later, I thought about what shows up on my face when others meet me. Do they catch a glimpse of “the sweetness inside,” the transforming power of Jesus’ love in my heart and life? The Bible tells of the breathtaking moments when Moses came down from Mount Sinai after spending days in God’s presence. Moses “was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord,” so radiant that the people “were afraid to come near him” (Exodus 34:29-30). To avoid frightening them further, Moses “put a veil over his face” and removed it when “he went in to speak with the Lord” (vv. 33, 35).

Moses was of course literally speaking with God “face to face” (33:11), a unique moment in the Bible. But Scripture also reminds us that we who know God through Christ “are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). His presence within us can be winsome to others—a work of God’s love. Our faces may not shine like Moses’ did, but as we spend time in God’s presence, He’ll become increasingly evident in us.
