Observant

Often Lord I live in my own little world and do not see the needs of others. Lord, help me to be observant. Allow me to see the needs of others, especially my family and my church family. Lord, also allow me to be observant of the working of your Holy Spirit in my life and in the lives of others. Amen

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? (James 2:15,16 ESV)

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Psalms 16:11)
