God's Call
The Way
By His Will (An Eternal family with Him and Earthly family with us):
"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families..."
Psalm 68:5-6
By the Lord's example, adoption:
"He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will."
Ephesians 1:5
By feeding them with the everlasting truth, God's Word:
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink..."
Matthew 25:35
By inviting them into our lives, we invite the Lord into our life... Just as God has invites us into His Kingdom:
"...I was a stranger and you invited me in,"Matthew 25:35
God intends for them to come into our lives:
"When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner,
the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands."Deuteronomy 24:19
In our lives how long? Until they are satisfied; Could that be until they have a sense of belonging to the Lord and His people:
"When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied."Deuteronomy 26:12
