Day 29 – Monday
Luke 11:42
Generous One, many of us have learned a
thing or two about generosity. We enjoy sharing of the resources You have
provided us. We enjoy giving to those in need. We tithe and give gladly in
other ways.
But we are often blind to the larger
issues that lie behind the needs of those who are most vulnerable. Our hearts
and minds are not fully attuned to the justice that You desire. Because of our
lack of insight and commitment to justice, sometimes even our giving serves to
perpetuate unjust structures and practices.
Enable us to be people of justice and
equity. Enable us to see the skewed structures and processes that provide
extreme wealth for some while leaving others in abject poverty. Enable us to
invest ourselves in creating a world where all have enough for fruitful living.
Help us to use our wealth in ways that bring hope, healing and justice. We need
your help! Let your Spirit guide and energize us in all that we do. Amen.
