A Complete Package

Psalms 41:1-3 NKJV "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."

I don't remember seeing in the Bible any other thing a man can do that comes with so many blessings affecting virtually every aspect of his life: deliverance, preservation, long life, prosperity, interventions, healing, promotions and sustenance! Wow! Just for considering the poor!

Understand that whatever we do for, or to the poor, we do for God and directly to Him! Proverbs 19:17 says, "He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given." Proverbs 14:31 says, "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy." On the Judgment Day, Jesus said that He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then He will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;  I was  naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."

It is the duty of the strong to help the weak. How you made your money is irrelevant, whether you suffered without assistance is not enough reason to neglect the needy; you must help the helpless. It's all about living and helping others live. And don't say you don't have enough, share the little you have with someone who has none, that's how to get more! There's no better soil to sow your seeds than the poor; it pleases God and gets His attention.
