Read Matthew 10:40-42

40 “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41Whoever welcomes God’s messenger because he is God’s messenger, will share in his reward. And whoever welcomes a good man because he is good, will share in his reward. 42You can be sure that whoever gives even a drink of cold water to one of the least of these my followers because he is my follower, will certainly receive a reward.”

Think

This passage is a part of Jesus sending his disciples out into the surrounding towns to conduct Kingdom bringing ministry.  Living for Jesus results in persecution.  In this context - the kindness of strangers; the gift of a glass of water - will be greatly rewarded.  A smile?  A word of encouragement?  A loud amen?  A glass of water?

Pray

Lord encourage those who share your gospel with the world.  Help us to support each other.
