Key Verse

“They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.” Psalm 37:19

Text —Psalm 37:16-22

Message

Famine means scarcity of food and essential commodities needed by everyone to make life comfortable. Famine can be caused by lack of rainfall known as drought, climate change as we have presently in many nations, insects attack on agriculture, land degradation, insecurity and many other factors. During famine, children are mostly affected and develop malnutrition and other sicknesses. Famine has always been in the world at one time or the other. During the time of Abraham, there was famine but he was not affected by the famine. Also, Isaac, his son experienced famine and God preserved him. God’s promise to us is that He will keep us even in famine.

As the world is presently experiencing hunger, what should we do as Christians? You must pray and trust God to provide for your needs. Also you must be careful not to waste your parents’ resources, be content with what your parents can afford to give you. It is important to know that some countries are more affected by famine than the others. It is our responsibility to be concerned about the people in those countries especially the children. Spend time to pray for God’s mercy on those countries, and if they need rain for their crops that God would send them rain. With guidance from your parents, godly teachers, you can organize package of gifts for children in countries where there is serious famine. More importantly we must preach and pray so that we will not experience the famine of God’s word.
