Text: Acts 20:17-38
The Bible teaches us to work hard in order to bless those that are weak
(v.35). Many people work hard and accumulate wealth for themselves. This is selfishness; you need to help the poor in your community. This does not teach that one becomes lazy and be fed by others, they should instead exercise their hands (v.34). We have hands for a purpose. Do not aim at physical foods only but also on spiritual. Help others with the Word of God too.
Jesus worked out our salvation when He died on the cross. He gave His life
as a ransom for many (Mat. 20:28). Let us work hard to help the weak both;
spiritually and physically.
Meditate on verse 35. How are you going to apply it to yourself?
Heavenly Father, the Lord of heaven and earth, in the name of Jesus Christ,
lead me in helping the weak and the poor. Amen.
