Jesus Is Hospitable
Ask the Lord to help you see those who need your welcome today.
March 5, 2024
Luke 19:1-10

Even though Jesus had no home to call His own, the Gospel accounts reveal His ability to make others feel at home in His presence. Wherever the Lord went, He intentionally welcomed those with open hearts and “ears to hear”—including sinners and tax collectors—into the household and family of God.

Although Zacchaeus was a tax collector well known for extortion, Jesus countered his sin with generosity. In this way, the Lord showed that true hospitality doesn’t come from material resources, but from a heart that sees and serves others with God’s love. “Hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house,” Jesus declared as He looked up at the tree where the man had climbed for a better view (Luke 19:5). Imagine Zacchaeus’ surprise to find that Jesus sought him out, even though he was in an unlikely place. This is true for us, too; no matter how small or unnoticed we may feel, God sees us and loves us.

Jesus’ hospitality prompted Zacchaeus’ own display of generous hospitality. When we show others that we see them and God sees them too, hearts and lives are transformed. Understanding and embracing God’s hospitality toward us—no matter how great our sin—enables us to extend that same hospitality to others as we invite them to join us at Jesus’ table.

A Prayer to Be a Humble Servant
By Christine Perry

"Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!" - Philippians 2:6-8 NIV

The older you get, the more people you know and the more opportunities to have disagreements and to make mistakes. In light of this, there are also more opportunities to show humility and regard others' needs as better than your own.

Humility is a mind that is set on Christ with submission to the will of God. When we bow in submission to the Lord, He will come to our rescue. James 4:6-10 says:

Blessed to Bless Others
When we make giving a priority, God's grace overflows in our life.
March 4, 2024
2 Corinthians 9:6-15

God’s blessings to us aren’t meant to end with us. His desire is that they filter down to others. This principle applies in all areas of our life, including finances. Did you know that our heavenly Father has plans for our money?

The Lord supplies us with income so we can provide for our needs and, often, our wants. But He also wants us to use our money to achieve His plans. And one of His goals is that we share our resources with others. If we purpose in our hearts to participate in His plans, He commits to provide all we need.

Just look at His extravagant promise in verse 8 of today’s passage: “And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.” This encouraging scripture is a good reminder that when we share blessings with others, God promises to enrich us in response to our generosity. In other words, He will increase the harvest of our righteousness.

A hoarded blessing isn’t enjoyed as richly as a shared one. Using your gift to meet someone else’s need glorifies God by demonstrating His grace at work in your life. Don’t let His generous provisions end with you. Pass them on and discover the joy of a never-ending cycle of blessings.

God Sees Our Tears
God sees and cares about your pain, so keep calling out and wait expectantly for His help.
March 3, 2024
1 Samuel 1:10-20

When we are in pain, it can be easy to cut ourselves off from those who care about us most—including the Lord. Yet Hannah, even in her heartache and disappointment over not having a child, continued to turn to God. First Samuel 1:19 tells us that the day after Hannah wept bitterly before Him, “the Lord remembered her.” She had faith in His goodness and believed He would respond to her request. She invited God to meet her in the middle of her pain—and He did. Later, when she delivered her son, Hannah gave him a name born out of both the pain and redemption of her experience: Samuel, meaning “God hears.”

Seeing God’s direct answer to her prayer provided Hannah with the faith to give back to God what she desired most: her only son. Hannah’s example shows us that engaging with God in faith requires open hands—both to receive and to surrender. Whether we receive the object of our desire or not, the promise of God’s presence is the greatest gift He gives, and it will never be taken from us. God sees and cares about every tear that falls. Through Hannah’s story of supplication and surrender, we find that even tears sown in bitterness can become seeds of redemption.
