Numbers 1:1-54; Psalms 144:1-145:21; Mark 11:27-12:17
For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Mark 3:35
The Lord Jesus acknowledged a much larger spiritual family than His immediate family. We need to be involved in other people’s lives as led by the Lord. It takes time and work to be a part of someone else’s life, so be prepared. We may be the one the Lord uses to encourage them or keep them grounded during difficult times. They may be struggling with their faith, family relationships, or a wrong romantic involvement. Let us embrace our spiritual family and responsibility to each other. —K. W.
You will notice we say “brother and sister” ‘round here,
It’s because we’re a family and these are so near;
When one has a heartache, we all share the tears,
And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear. —Bill & Gloria Gaither
