Topic: Remember The Needy

Text: "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with
them; and them which suffer adversity, as being
yourselves also in the body" (Hebrews 13:3).

One of the beautiful things about being a
Christian is that we have the love of God in our
hearts. We are to be the most caring, thoughtful,
and considerate people anywhere. People should
look to us for strength and encouragement
during hard times. Not only that, but the Lord
expects us to have heartfelt compassion for
people during their hardships. There are scores
of people who live abused, imprisoned, or in
impoverished circumstances. Some are just
everyday people who are going through tragic
situations. We must be careful not to get so
busy that we overlook the suffering of others,
especially that of our fellow believers. When we
see others suffering from adversity, we also
must be careful not to unfairly judge them or
draw conclusions about their situations when we
don’t know all the facts that led up to their
present situation.
The Bible teaches us to remember those in
adversity. Think of someone today you can pray
for. You don’t have to know all the details
surrounding their situation, nor do you need to
even know them personally—just pray. When God
brings someone across your path that you know
is suffering in some way, love them and reach
out to them. God will honor you for remembering
those in adversity today.

PRAYER
Lord, I pray for those in adverse situations right
now. I specifically pray for ______________. Help
them through this difficult time, Lord, and touch
their life with peace. Show me what I can do to
offer strength for those who You put in my path.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
