Consider Those In Need

by Brett Fuller on October 28, 2019

There are over three thousand scriptural injunctions regarding the “poor”. God looks favorably upon he who is generous to the needy. He also has equal disdain for he who turns a blind eye.

Psalms 41:1-3 says, 1 “How blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble. 2 The LORD will protect him and keep him alive… And not give him over to the desire of his enemies. 3 The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, God will restore him to health.”

Okay, God says:

  1. The man who considers the poor is blessed
  2. He will deliver him in the day of trouble
  3. He will protect him sustain his life
  4. He will not give him over to his enemies
  5. He will sustain him in sickness and restore him to health

 Wow! Almost makes you want to get up and assist anyone in need just so you can live right and live well!
