Do you consider the poor? Is giving to the poor part of your budget? This is an important wisdom for living. It is a wisdom key which many believing Christians are neglecting to their own detriment. This post expounds on considering the poor as wisdom for living.
Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed – Psalm 41:1-3 (NKJV).
He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses – Proverbs 28:27 (NKJV).
He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given – Proverbs 19:17 (NKJV).
The poor are important to God. While He waits for them to learn and overcome poverty (Deuteronomy 8:18, Psalm 35:27), He also would want them to be well taken care of, because He cares for them. God will not come down in person to help the poor; He will need human beings to reach out to them. So, God is ready to bless anyone who will offer himself or herself as a channel of blessing to the poor.
Whoever considers the poor does so on behalf of the Almighty God and lends to Him, and He will repay back (Proverbs 19:17). Imagine when God is repaying back what He will give! You give with your little hand and God repays with His big hand! Awesome investment! Give to the poor and you will never know lack in your life (Proverbs 28:27). Read more...
