TJ has a full time offer from BP. What a blessing we have been given. And yet....it comes with a heavy responsibility. After reading Scripture, the Bible clearly says that we are to look out for the poor and the oppressed, the fatherless and the widows. Luke 16 shows us that God takes care of the poor. Lazarus is sitting at the gate of the rich man, covered in sores and starving. And yet, Lazarus enters the kingdom of God while the rich man doesnt.
In a time in our lives when we are registering for the "necessities" of life, it has begun to hit us that the things we can't see ourselves without, serve to remind us of the rich and the poor. The difference between the comfortable life we live (even as poor, almost married college kids) The abundance God has blessed us with over and over again. But why? Why has He given us a petroleum salary? Why has He allowed these blessings to pour in over and over? What plan does He have for our lives to serve Him and look out for His people? How can we use these things to further God's kingdom?
Please pray for us that we would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and react faithfully with what God commands us to do.
