Text: 1 Timothy 5:1-13

A hard working widow, who has a reputation for good works and has worked hard to bring up her children is appreciated. She is also very hospitable amongst her many gifts (vv. 9-10). Such widows should be rewarded in our society. To raise up godly children is hard work. To be hospitable to people is a big responsibility.

Let us be like Jesus Christ who recognized such people in society. A poor widow had worked hard to earn two very small copper coins which she offered to the temple treasury (Luk. 21:2). Jesus noticed and appreciated the gesture. Let us emulate Him.

Meditate on verses 9-1-. What is God teaching you in these verses?

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, teach me how to appreciate those who work hard in my community. Amen.
