GODLY COMPASSION!
Luke 10:33 – Devotional
Luke 10:33
“A certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was. And when he saw the injured man, he had compassion.”
All too often we are like the priest and Levite in the parable Jesus related to His hearers. They would most certainly be Jews who had distaste and even hatred for the half-breed and despised Samaritans.
It is very possible that many of those who listened to this parable that we know as the, “Parable of the Good Samaritan,” had at one time or another shown scorn and hatred toward the Samaritans. Before we become too high and righteous in our judgment of them, who do we reject in like manner?
We find ourselves surrounded by those who have been rejected and despised by society. While it is true that we cannot respond to all of those who beg for help, we can prayerfully ask God to show us those who cross our path that He has sent in order for us to show forth His love for them!
I find myself needing to spend more time in prayer and then paying attention when the Lord sends someone with a need across our path. Let’s be prepared to be like Jesus and show godly compassion!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
