Day Twenty-Three: That she would extend her hand to the poor and needy
She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. –Proverbs 31:20
The mark of someone that has really received grace is that they would care for orphans and widows. Or as this Proverbs states, they open their hand to the poor and reaches out to the needy. Men let us pray that our wives would be marked by this. May they have hearts of sacrifice for the sake of others. In order for her hands to be open to the poor it means that she cannot clinch her fist around her possessions. Pray today that she would be marked by generosity and giving.
Father, I thank you for all that you have given to my wife. I thank you for her giving spirit. Cause her faith to increase so that she can trust you with her possessions. And as she trusts in you more and more help her to open her hands to the poor and needy. Help her to not only give when people asks but help her to pursue those that are needy. Give her wisdom in her giving. Give me grace to encourage her as she extends grace to others. Amen.
