Sunday Scripture: Deuteronomy 15:7

Deuteronomy 15:7 - "If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother." (NIV)

There are always people in need around us. God calls us not to turn a blind eye toward those in need. Today we are dealing with friends' parents losing their jobs and struggling to make ends meet. There are people living in oppression, not able to speak out or find enough food to eat.

Suffering comes in many forms, and God calls us to open our hearts to those in need. Spending time in outreach activities or volunteering can be big ways to help those in need. Other times, a simple shoulder to cry on is showing compassion. Whatever suffering you see, offer what you can to the person who needs it the most.
