Devotional
February 1, 2012 | Day 4
Shortly after moving to Uganda, I opened my home to two AIDS orphans. The other night I took the youngsters out for dinner. On the way home I aimed the car lights on a rock quarry and said, “There are many Ugandans who can’t afford to go to school. Without an education, they have to do hard jobs like working here in the hot sun and hammering huge stones into small gravel.”
The following day, the boys ran into the kitchen shouting, “Auntie Rox, water for the people!” Eventually I understood that they wanted to distribute bottles of water to the men at the rock quarry. And so we did.
The day when these two orphans are gathered in God’s presence, I wonder if He will say to them, “Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed Me. I was thirsty, and you gave Me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited Me into your home. I was naked, and you gave Me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for Me. I was in prison, and you visited Me” (Matthew 25:34-36).
The boys, who were just 5 years old when they gave water to thirsty strangers, might say in response, “Lord, when did we ever see You hungry and feed You? Or thirsty and give You something to drink? Or a stranger and show You hospitality? Or naked and give You clothing?” (Matthew 25:37-38). And to them God will say, “I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these My brothers and sisters, you were doing it to Me!” (Matthew 25:40). Today, ask God to spur your heart to action on behalf of “the least of these.”
Prayer: Dear God, We may slip into routines and forget about the needs we have noticed around us. Please remind us of those in need and give us real opportunities and ideas that can help meet the needs of the “least of these.” In Jesus’ name, amen
