The Psalmist declared, “From your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.”

Truth is, so many of us have enjoyed God’s bounty our entire lives. We often see it as a chance to save up, to get ahead. Yes, God has been so good to us, but this verse indicates that some of that bounty is already designated for the poor.

We are wise to look for opportunities to share God’s abundant bounty with the poor and needy around us.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, forgive us for heaping up to ourselves the countless blessings You have showered upon us. Open our eyes and hearts today to see the poor and needy around us.
