Good Morning Friends,
“I know that the LORD secures justice for the
poor and upholds the cause of the needy.” (Psalm 140:12)
The Lord has a special concern for the poor
and needy.
When Israel gathered the crops from the field
at harvest time, the Lord instructed them to leave some portion for the poor.
(Leviticus 19:10)
When the Lord promised a land of rich
blessings to Israel, He told them there should be no poor among them.
(Deuteronomy 15:4) When riches abound,
they are to be shared with those in need.
Solomon taught that if you oppress the poor
you are showing contempt for God. (Proverbs 14:31)
Jesus Himself preached good news to the poor.
(Matthew 11:5)
Dorcas was praised as a woman of God for
helping the poor. (Acts 9:36)
God’s compassion extends to those in need and
the compassion He desires to demonstrate in us will show itself in the same
way.
Can the same be said of you: he upholds the cause of the needy?
His, by Grace,
Steve
