Needy widows within the church are to be cared for, but they also have responsibilities.
At this time in history there was no social “safety net” for widows or vulnerable people or any kind. This instruction is both practical and necessary.
God is concerned with the plight of widows and desires his followers to reach out to them for his glory.
Even vulnerable people in a tough spot in life can abuse generosity.
Show mercy and compassion to whom God shows mercy and compassion.
Godly widows within the church are to be loved, honored, and supported.
Father, help me show genuine love to widows as you do.
