Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 27-29, Luke 13:1-22

Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Leviticus 19:34

Today's Scripture & Insight: .

Sometimes the burdens we carry make us feel like foreigners—alone and misunderstood—even among our peers. We don't always have a similar experience to draw on as the Israelites did with the foreigners among them. Yet we can always treat those God puts in our paths with the respect and understanding that we, ourselves, desire. Whether a modern-day middle schooler, an Israelite, or anything in between, we honor God when we do.

Reflect & Pray
Who around you might need your empathy for the burdens they carry? How can you "love them as yourself"?

God, You know the weight in my heart and You graciously unburden me as I put my trust in You. Help me to offer care and compassion toward those in my life.
