Devotions for When Life Is Hardනියැදිය

Generous Provider

One of the reasons God created the family system is so we wouldn’t be alone. It has always been God’s plan—by His design—that we rely on our families during difficult times. But modern society encourages a look-out-for-number-one mentality. We often feel burdened and resentful when we are asked to help out a family member in need. When we have the opportunity to help out a relative, we should see it as a privilege, not a drain. At those times, we have the chance to step into God’s shoes for just a moment. He is a generous, loving Provider, and He never turns His back on His children. By becoming a generous, loving provider for someone else, we become like God or godly. And God always blesses those who try to be like Him.

Prayer: Dear Father, teach me to be a generous, loving provider for the people in my family. Amen.
