Entertaining a strangerDwain D. Cox

Blessed morning Family, let us greet one another with brotherly love. Today's devotion comes to us from Hebrews 13 : 2, which reads, Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares ( KJV)

In today's society of deceitful people even among church members, who will become vulnerable to host a stranger.? Technology can be seen as a double edge sword. It brings those in distant lands closer but robs you of personal closeness. One can also be deceived , robbed or embarrassed from any distance. Online entertaining carries its own dangers.

We cannot abstain from this duty as the scripture calls us to remember to entertain strangers. Yes, we need to exercise wisdom in our decisions but we fail to even engage fellow believers or co-workers.

We live in a world of individuality but this order causes us to maintain our humanity, rely on the spirit of discernment .This is a simple command, yet many of us neglect it for fear or ignorance. If the Lord commands it , then He will guide and direct you through it.

Let us open our hands ,hearts and homes . Let us begin with neighbours, classmates and co-workers we don't speak with beyond salutations.

Come, join me in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, we ask that You give us the courage to fulfil this command and the discernment in choosing who to entertain, in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
