GOD'S HANDS AND FEET














GOD'S HANDS AND FEET


God has had a
LOVE AFFAIR with the POOR=
Since the beginning
Of TIME


So much so=that he
Sent his SON=Jesus=
Here as a very poor man


To HELP the poor
And disenfranchised=
Jesus is
No longer here


We are to be
HIS=God's hands and feet
In this modern day world


“When the POOR ONE
Called out=the Lord heard


And from all his distress
He SAVED HIM” Psalm 34:7


There is a lot
Of TRAGEDY in this world


And hardly a day
Goes by
Without news of some
Terrible related weather events


And news reports seem
To COVER the pleas=for PRAYER
And help


ESPECIALLY from the sick=
THE POOR=and the elderly


Is it any WONDER-
Jesus REACHED OUT
To the poor=the sick=
And the elderly=in his time​?


GOD HEARS the cries of the POOR=
How can we BE
GOD'S HANDS and FEET
In today's world?


With money=with physical help=
Maybe even trying to HELP one
Poor person=
Who is desperately in NEED


How about us?
Are we listening to
The CRIES
Of the poor?


“My whole being
Will exclaim=
'Who is like-
You Lord?


You rescue the POOR
From those too strong
For them


The POOR and needy
From those who rob them'” Psalm 35:10


“Whoever is kind
To the POOR
Lends to the Lord


And he will reward them
For what they have done” Proverbs 19:17


“In Joppa=there was a disciple
Named Tabitha
(In Greek her name is DORCAS))=




She was always doing good
And helping the POOR” Acts 9:36


And that is what
We are to be=in
THIS modern day 21st century


Be GOOD to those less fortunate
Than ourselves=HELP those
Who have LESS THAN US


Be JESUS' hands and feet
In today's world


“I will praise you
As long as I live


And in your name
I will lift up
MY HANDS” Psalm 63:4


“Give careful thought
To the paths
For your FEET


And be steadfast
In all your ways” Proverbs 4:26


AM I? Are we
LISTENING to the cries
Of the POOR?


Can I be more
Helpful?


Don't forget=we are GOD'S=
We are Jesus'
HANDS AND FEET in this world!


In the name of Jesus=and GOD the Father=who LISTENS to the cries of the POOR
