We were separating the cows from their spring calves yesterday. It’s time to try and put some weight on them for the sale barn. Due of the lack of rain here in West Texas, we don’t have good pasture. In fact we have no pasture, so the calves are not getting the needed nutrition for growth. It’s just like you and I, if we don’t get the needed spiritual food we cannot grow. The younger calves and the older cows are the most vulnerable, because they are not able to take care of themselves. That is exactly why God says in His word, “pure and undefiled religion is this, take care of widows and orphans.” While you and I understand we need spiritual nourishment for our growth, it is up to us to feed on His word. We have no excuse and can blame no one except ourselves. God loves all His children so much He reminds us to take care of those who can’t take care of themselves, physically and spiritually. I believe we fall short of this expectation, God expects us to take care of widows and orphans. Do we? If we started a ministry just to take care of widows and orphans, I believe there would be Christians who would oppose the ministry. Saying things like, “That’s not the job of the Church”, “That should be a personal responsibility”. Are you serious? Jesus is Head of the Church and this is what He is telling us to do. Prove me wrong. “Like” this post and let’s see how many people want to help.
