Notice something crucial here: so often worship can be self-centered: Lord,do this for me and df that for me. And,of course, there’s a time and place for seeking the Lord for our own special needs. But what the Lord is saying here is that true worship will include reaching out to “the hungry,” to “the afflicted,” and to the “poor.” But amazing thing but those giving the help. Read what texts say about what happens to those who reach out and help those who are in need. In ministering to others, in giving to others, we get blessed ourselves. Who hasn’t, at some point, experience to some degree the reality of these promises from God? Who hasn’t seen what joy and satisfaction and hope come to those who help other’s who can’t help themselves? It’s hard to imagine a better way to reflect the character of Christ to the world. by Gaspar Colon
