God’s blessings are extended beyond His people Israel to even foreigners! I have lived more than half of my adult life as a foreigner and now that I’m back in the US, it is not a surprise that I seem to be drawn to people from other countries. Sophie’s plane from Africa was several hours delayed. So while waiting in the international terminal I watched weary people arrive from around the world. I wanted to have a cooler filled with bottled water and a big sign and a hug to welcome everyone coming to Houston for the first time. I think it would make God smile, for He too wants to bless and rescue the foreigner.
God, bless the foreigners among us. May we honor You by how we treat others, those that are similar to us and those that are different. Your desire is for all to know and love Your name and to wholeheartedly worship You, for in doing so we are blessed. Amen.
