A Nice Warm Bed

1 Timothy 6:6-10

6 Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, 

7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 

8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 

9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

As I lay in my warm bed this early cold morning, I sang praise to the Lord for all the rich blessings He has bestowed on my family. I asked for mercy for those who are in the cold air today, those who sleep outside with no hope of a warm bed. We have the resources to help these lost ones, one person at a time, but do we? Is it not easy to think that someone else will help them?

Lord, convict each and every one of us. Let us not think of the vast amount of people who need help but just the one we will see today. Amen
