Obadiah v 1 - 21
"For the day of the Lord draws near on all the nations..."

I believe this is two fold… Not only will God judge the nations for the way they have dealt with Israel (and one another), but also how people have treated each other.

Matt 25 v 31 – 46
“If you have done all of this to the very least of you, you have done it to me also.” [paraphrase]. Jesus was referring to good deeds done to others, but also refraining from doing these to others, meant you have also not done it to Him.

God expects us, as believers, to reach out a helping hand when necessary and assist those in need, within your means, off course. We will be judged according to our works. (2 Corinthians 5 v 10)
Let’s ensure that we are in right standing with God, so that when the “great and terrible day of the Lord” comes, we are not weighed and found wanting.

May the Lord send someone on your way today. Recognize the need and give within your means, whether it is a food parcel, a word of encouragement or a prayer, we all have something to give.
