GO2020 | ENGAGE: March Week 3 - CARESample
March 16—The Down and Out
Read
Galatians 2:9-10
Reflect
Along with this week’s memory verse, today’s Scripture reminds us that we must not neglect the poor in our midst. It is human nature to gravitate to people of influence and power. Yet all people can fall on hard times and as Christians we are called to minister to all in those times of hardship. In fact, it is in these hard times that the human heart is most often open to Jesus and to the need for a Savior.
Engage
Read today’s Scripture passage. Say or write it out in your own words, considering the following questions:
· What does it say about God?
· What does it say about us?
· Is there a promise to trust?
· Is there a command to obey?
· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?
· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?
Memorize
Now read this week’s memory verse, James 1:27. Spend a few minutes beginning to memorize it.

About this Plan
Human need comes in many different forms—from a stranger asking for directions to a loved one in desperate need of healing. Our care for them can be physical, but often it is care for the soul, such as being present with a friend experiencing heartbreak. A hurting world calls for people who care. In Scripture we discover various folks who need the care of the followers of Jesus.
