Orphans And Widows

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Malachi 3:1-6

Visit orphans and widows in their trouble. —James 1:27

My commute to work is about 25 minutes, and so to pass the time I have become an avid listener of audio books. Recently, I was listening to Charles Dickens’ classic novel Oliver Twist. At one point in the story, I had to stop the tape because it was too disturbing. Although I knew the book would have a happy ending, there was something very troubling about the brutal treatment of this poor orphan.

God cares about the plight of the poor and has a special place in His heart for orphans and widows. Malachi wrote that God would judge those who, having no fear of God, exploit widows and orphans (3:5).

Instead of taking advantage of the weak, we as Christians are admonished to help those in need. Believers should care for those God cares about. We should look for opportunities to provide financial and emotional support for those who have lost a spouse or have been orphaned from a parent’s care.

Do you know a widow who needs your help? Do you know an orphan or child who has been deprived of the support of a parent because of death, divorce, military service, or abandonment?

As James tells us, a mark of true spirituality is to "visit orphans and widows in their trouble" (1:27). 

Open my eyes, Lord, to people around me,
Help me to see them as You do above;
Give me the wisdom and strength to take action,
So others may see the depth of Your love.  —K. De Haan

The more Christ’s love grows in us, the more His love flows from us.

Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 39-40; Colossians 4

[DieHard the Hunter]

Gidday Kathy!

Thank-you for this Thread.

May I propose a toast to this, “The New Greatest Generation.” They do us proud, and we can expect to hear many marvelous works of their deeds of derring-do, and so can many generations to come. The New Greatest Generation is keeping the Faith with those who have gone before, and are setting their own high standard of Honor, Heroism, Service and Sacrifice.

Theirs is a fight for Western Civilization as we know it. The stakes are high indeed, which is why only the very best of our Civilization will do.

And so it is that I propose that we all take wine to their good health.

To the New Greatest Generation...
