Your Open Word e-Devotional for September 14th

Published: Thu, 09/14/17

 Hello ,


An elderly widow, restricted in her activities, was eager to serve Christ. After praying about this, she realized that she could bring blessing to others by playing the piano. The next day she placed this small ad in the Oakland Tribune: "Pianist will play hymns by phone daily for those who are sick and despondent--the service is free." The notice included the number to dial. 

When people called, she would ask, "What hymn would you like to hear?" Within a few months her playing had brought cheer to several hundred people. Many of them freely poured out their hearts to her, and she was able to help and encourage them.

I cannot do everything, but I can do something!  What talent or gift can you give into God's care today?  

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.​​​​​​​"  Ephesians 2:10

Have a great day and God bless!



Pastor Mike / The Open Word
