We are continuing to Seek God for the City, following this great plan laid out by Waymakers.
Our weekly focus is: praying for hope for transformation toward God's peace in our communities. Under that umbrella, we are seeking God this week on behalf of Africa. Today, we are seeking God on behalf of the unborn, and seeking Him to work with for the fruit of His righteousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seek God.
See God.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-39
"Lord, when did we see you...?"
The old guy at the table who obviously can't afford more than the cup of coffee.
The woman up the block, with three children who never seem to have warm enough clothes on.
The child on TV whose village needs a well.
The woman standing anxiously outside the clinic.
The kid smoking the cigarette behind the store, where is his father?
They aren't Jesus. You aren't Jesus.
But, when you respond to their need in His Name, you both can see Jesus.
Seek.
Find.
