Matthew 10:41-42 AMP: "42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward."
So it sounds like we will have to endure a few more days of possible triple digit temperatures and if you are like me....you were done with this type of weather weeks ago. This type of weather presents many challenges, or if you choose to look at it through God's lenses opportunities for Him to be made famous through your actions. Sure it's easy to choose to stay in, keep cool, or hang out in your favorite mall, dept. store, or movie theatre but all of that is ALL ABOUT YOU. In today's scripture we are being given the opportunity to be WINNERS! Jesus said " 1)whoever gives to one of these little ones a 2)cup of cold water" . What will you purpose your heart to GIVE TODAY? He has richly blessed you, so before you say you don't have...remember you are RICHLY BLESSED by your association, your relationship with Jesus Christ. The second thing is you GIVE what they are in need of. He mentions "a cup of cold water" funny how that's so applicable today. For instance we all have our trash picked up or mail delivered or lawn's mowed, but since we have had all of these scorching temperatures have you provided any of those people with a bottle of ICE COLD water? How about the homeless who you may drive past daily, have you just decided to give them a couple of bottles of water or maybe a frozen towel.
The children in today's picture were reaching out to just be loved, and at the end of the day that's what we ALL want, to be loved, but in order for that to happen sometimes YOU need to be the initiator. Christ said those that give that
"cold drink are truly HIS disciples, and they will not lose their reward" So my question is are you WINNING? If not I pray that you live to be the WINNER Christ created you to be, in the game of LIFE!
