“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” (Proverbs 31:8, NIV)
Are we channels or are we reservoirs?
Reservoirs are designed to take-in and hold. Channels give as they receive. God expects us to be the latter.
Today’s scripture reminds us of our responsibility to expend the “capital” we’ve received (whether it be time, talent, or treasure) for the benefit of others — particularly those who are destitute or disenfranchised. God blesses us in order that we might bless, in His name, those who have not.
Jesus came to the lost, the least, and the last. As His disciples, we can do no more; we should do no less. – Luther
