William Jay, Congregationalist minister, expresses awe for God’s power and nature. We must be ready to account for our stewardship to the One who may call us to him. We must not disdain the poor. We are given wealth, but for distribution. A full cloud empties itself upon the earth.
Jay says to be ready to give an account of our stewardship. John Piper, in contrast, says to be ready to given an account of how much bible reading you had done.
Arthur Tappan Pierson, Presbyterian, praises Samuel Fisk Green (1822–1884), missionary to Sri Lanka, who kept medical instruction in Tamil. Green fought cholera with handbills, yet never never lost sight of “greater work” to spread the gospel.
Today, would we see the idea of Christians investing effort in pedantic lectures on hygiene to prevent the spread of a disease as a sign of apostasy?
How can you keep sight of ministry and public health?

Thomas Ridgley, Anglican minister, talks on the 8th Commandment. It doesn’t merely forbid stealing but requires promoting good of distressed neighbors. A charity you can feel in your innards, and relief as per your ability.
Do we practice the art of turning off this feeling in the gut, dreaming up reasons people in big or small crises made their own bed?
How can you exercise genuine bowels of compassion?

There's still a bit of the day left. Today is the International Day of Peace, a day the UN "devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence", and it's happening right in the middle of the Global Week to #Act4SDGs, a global mobilization "to show world leaders that people all around the world are committed, dedicated, and inspired to take action on the UN's sustainable development goals."
