Matthew 25:37-39 (NKJV) 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
Taking time to care for our needs is important and God wants us to do that. The thing to watch out for is spending all of our time on our needs and not having or paying attention to the needs of others.
Every day that goes by there is someone that is in need of something, somewhere. It could be something big or something small; we just never know.
Last week as I was at the local Post Office, I noticed that the Postmaster was outside, clearing brush and cleaning up the parking lot.
He stopped me to say hello and asked how I was doing. I noticed he was hot and red as a beet, from working hard. I looked at the time and realized he was working through his lunch break.
As I drove away, I knew I needed to get him something to eat and drink.
So, after finding the nearest place, I grabbed him lunch and a drink. It probably only took me about 15 minutes of my day. I went back and dropped it off and he was so thankful, and then I was on my way.
As I pulled away I heard God say, “you touched him in the deepest part of his heart.”
The next day I went in to pick up my mail and he said, “thank you so much, you saved my life. I got into that project and it was bigger than I thought. Thank you Pastor so much, it meant a lot.”
You see, I may not have literally saved this man’s life, but he was truly grateful. God knew what he needed and He personally touched this man’s heart that day through my hands.
Giving God our hands and our time not only touches the hearts of others, but it touches the heart of God as well!! Amen.
Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
