Open Your Hand Generously

Poor persons will never disappear from the earth. That's why I'm giving you this command: you must open your hand generously to your fellow Israelites, to the needy among you, and to the poor who live with you in the land. (Deuteronomy 15:11 CEB)

Today's meditation:

• What a privilege to be God's hands and feet by going and serving those less fortunate, some of whom have never heard the Gospel!

Pray today:

• For EC Serve trips this summer to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Kenya, for the leaders who are planning the work, for the students and leaders to be successful in raising support, for the missionaries and people who will be helped and served.
• For additional EC Serve projects possibly to the Cherokee Nation and Haiti that are still in the works, for those who need to serve to hear the call of God to serve, for people involved at every level - those who go and those who support the ones who go through prayers and finances.
• For EC Serve projects and trips to form as God wills, for places and people to be revealed to us that need help, for expansion of EC Serve to more places and more people.

Pray First in every circumstance, challenge, and choice. Always Pray First!
