God speaks today Wednesday | August 11, 2021
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
(Isaiah 61:1)And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
(1 Corinthians 13:3) Usefulness to others
Being useful to others is the most beautiful human work, as stated by Sophocles and validated by Christians. This virtue is rooted in love and the ministry of Jesus, who focused on helping the needy and the suffering. Christian virtue involves walking with the weak and offering ourselves to others. However, we must be cautious and minister with love, not judgment, in order to be useful to others. Each brother or sister who asks for advice is an opportunity to show our Christian side and edify ourselves. The Lion of Judah Congregation Site and its devotional space "God speaks today" should be a place for all of us to meet, pray, and minister to each other. We must bear witness to the victory that Christ gave us and encourage others.
