He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker; but he that honors him has mercy on the poor. (Proverbs 14:31)
Кто теснит бедного, тот хулит Творца его; чтущий же Его благотворит нуждающемуся. (Притчи 14:31 Russian)
Хто тисне нужденного, той ображає свого Творця, а хто милостивий до вбогого, той поважає Його. (Притчи 14:31 Ukrainian)
Almighty God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for this new day that arrives with fresh opportunities to live as you want us to do. Give us wisdom and generous hearts so that we will do good deeds that truly honor Christ our Lord in whom we trust for our eternal salvation. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We had a good session yesterday with Natasha our newest WEI student. She surprised us when she arrived for the appointment with some fresh eggs from her grandma's laying hens. Galina jokingly remarked to me that now I've finally made it as a preacher. Next she will bring the chicken. This young woman has a university degree and works as an accountant, but has hardly any knowledge of the Bible. Her parents are both physicians who grew up and worked during the years of official atheism during the Soviet Union's oppressive regime. It is always thrilling to help people discover the wonders of God's word for themselves. Later we caught a bus over to the other side of the river to where METRO, the large discount box store is located. We purchased some things that we need for our boys today and for the church and our students at the University. When we ask questions, we like to honor those who participate with little rewards. And of course we have something for everyone. Thank you for the prayers.
