Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.(Galatians 2:10, ESV)
Most of us are not rich: we are not poor either. We are “in-betweeners.” The trouble with being an “in-betweener” is that we tend to focus on those who have more than we do. We look up and think we have been cheated. Galatians today reminds us to look down. Being an in-betweener means that there are many many people who have less than we do. Some of them have a lot less. Today, think of those who have less and (1) be thankful for what you have and not unhappy for what you do not have. (2) Remember the poorer in your prayers. (3) Do something practical for the poor. Find a great charity and make a donation. Be kind to the people on the street.
