God Has A Dream
August 21, 2024
God has a dream. He revealed it in James 1:27. Quoting the Common English Bible, it reads, “True devotion, the kind that is pure and faultless before God, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their difficulties and to keep the world from contaminating us.”
To fulfill God’s dream, those of us who are Christ followers are to demonstrate our faith by helping the voiceless in their bad times, times of crisis, grief and poverty. That care goes a long way in preventing the world from contaminating us.
We realize that the world’s way is to ignore at best and exploit at worst–a stark contrast to the dream of God’s heart. When we are compassionate to widows and orphans, we are living God’s dream.
