For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land. – Deuteronomy 15:11
God tells us that there won’t be poverty, then tells us what to do if there is poverty, then tells us that there will always be poverty! God is not contradicting Himself. He is pointing to the sad reality of our broken world and then telling us what to do about it.
God, thank you for the abundance of life, relationships, health, and comfort that you have provided, and thank you that even in times of need, despair, and brokenness, you are there. Please put your arms around children and families in extreme poverty so they feel comfort and hope; meet their needs both physically and spiritually. And, Lord, guide us so we can be your hands and feet pursuing justice for the poor and upholding the cause of the needy.
Thank you for joining in prayer with your neighbors across El Dorado and Union County, Arkansas for the 2024 40 Days of Prayer. Please continue to pray for blessings and unity for our community.
We are so grateful for your partnership in God’s Kingdom work. May you and yours be blessed.
