Providing for Our Relatives

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5: [8] If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Observation: We have a responsibility to look after our relatives and to help with their needs. When I was given my divorce papers God put it on my heart to give my ex-wife everything we had, which I did. This scripture was what God gave me at that time. I feel the blessing I received was out of obedience of taking care of her as God directed.

Application: I need to be more aware of my family’s needs. To help out wherever I can and to be there for them. Whether financial or support God commands me in this.

Prayer: My Lord may I not be selfish, but generous with my possessions and time to give to my family without hesitation
