Proverbs 31:20
"She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy."
Today, June 20th, is World Refugee Day. In honor of that I wanted to share what the Godly Proverbs 31 woman's job is in helping those in need. Many of you do not know what World Refugee Day is and have probably never even heard of it before. This day is to recognize all those who have ever been refugees, around the globe. The purpose of the day is to make these refugees known and to celebrate those who have been rescued and to raise awareness for the refugees that still remain in this world. Here is a little video to show a glimpse of what this day is about...It was taken while some of the team from Operation Broken Silence were in Sudan...
In the verse posted above, a woman of God is to extend her hand in helping those less fortunate than herself. Although we all can't physically extend our hands to help these refugees, we can help in other ways; such as, prayer, financial support, getting involved in our community, etc. There are many ways that we can spread God's love through helping others, and after all that is what we're all ultimately called to do.
As you go about your day, don't forget those who are in need, especially on a day like today. Take some time to pray and seek the Lord for guidance in how He would like you to help the refugees around the world.
Strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman each day.
