12When you have finished laying aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you are to give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat and be filled within your gates.
You Shall Rejoice
Rejoice for all the good things the Lord has given you.
We have a tendency in our human condition to look at our neighbors and say, why can’t I have that? But we need to nip that sin in the bud!
Look at yourself and rejoice in all good things the Lord had given you!
Do you have a roof over your head? Food on your table? Clothes on your back? Rejoice!
I remember a camping trip our family went on and my father stopped at a house because he was selling crawlers for fishing. It had a dirt floor! So anytime I get down because someone else has this or that I remind myself of that house with a dirt floor.
And what about the fatherless, the widow, the poor and the needy? The Lord reminds us many times throughout scripture that they are dear to His heart ❤️.
Let’s not be like Sodom!
Ezekiel 16:49 Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.
Are you bearing fruit? If not, be careful as the woodsman is out with His axe!
Blessings
