Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Fields of the Fatherless



I finished this book, Fields of the Fatherless, By Tom Davis this week.

My heart has long been with the fatherless, but he has such a beautiful way of expressing not only the need, but the command!

Yes, we are commanded to care for the widow, the fatherless and the poor!!

So the question is how are we going to respond to the command?

I challenge you to read it and see if your vision is not changed forever!!



In this world you are an orphan--
eagerly anticipating your adoption as God's child.

In this world you are a widow--
longing for reunion with your Bridegroom.

In this world you are a stranger--
a pilgrim waiting to become a citizen of heaven.

And in this world, God has called you to care for the orphan, the stranger, and the widow.

(From Fields of the Fatherless)
