Spend Less #2

Click on the above image to watch the video that is the basis for today's devotion.

At the conclusion of this video, we learn that a little can really go a long way. While it might be easy to be discouraged by this video, maybe in the end it is actually empowering. This video tells us that even a few simple decisions to forgo a few American luxuries-even just once, can mean life for a child in another part of the world.

Matthew 25:34-40:

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Take time to reflect today on how God might be calling you to serve Him this Advent season. You might just make the difference between life and death.
