Dorcas - Her Promise

Dorcas - Her Promise

God is glorified in the story of Dorcas, not only in her being raised from the dead, but through her acts of kindness, her generosity, and her willingness to go out of her way to offer help to others. Don’t think you must do great and noble and noticeable acts for your life to glorify God. He will be glorified through your simple acts of love and obedience, whatever they are, wherever you are.

Promises in Scripture

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

— Psalm 19:14

Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

— Proverbs 14:31

“He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the LORD.

— Jeremiah 22:16

When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

— Matthew 6:3 – 4
