Priority People

 Scripture:

“But I will protect the orphans who remain among you. Your widows, too, can depend on me for help.”” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭49‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, God had just told Edom that He was going to wipe them out and bring total destruction. While speaking of their destruction, God speaks the verse above. He basically says that He will destroy Edom, but He will take care of their widows and orphans. They can depend on Him to take care of them. God has always had a heart for the widow and the orphan. He will go out of His way to take care of them.

Application:

We must learn what pleases God and walk in it. God has always had a strong and sensitive heart for the widow and the orphan of all nations. As believers we should be serious about making sure our widows and orphans are taken care of.Cheryl and I always say that ministries that take care of the widow and orphan are always taken care of by God. Ministries that help the least fortunate are always blessed. We must make a priority of what God makes a priority out of.

Prayer:

Father, help me to see with your eyes and hear what You are speaking. I see Your heart for the hopeless. I recognize You go out of Your way and, even.in judgment, to not overlook the widow and orphan. Help me to have the same heart. Help me to prioritize what You prioritize.

Yours Forever,
