Revelation of the Word:

THEME: HARDNESS OF HEARTS

Deuteronomy 15:7-8

“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.”

INSIGHT

-The Lord fulfilled His promise by granting possession of the promised land to the Israelites. Since the Lord richly blessed them, He commanded generosity and kindness to be extended to the poor (Deuteronomy 15:4). James 2:15-17 reveals that, if a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, we should be willing to provide the things which they need and not dismiss them saying, “depart in peace, be warm and filled”. By doing this we put our faith to work because we are the blessed of the Lord, and we will receive our reward. If we harden our hearts to the poor and needy, the love of God does not abide in us (1 John 3:16-17).
