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. Psalm 41:1-2
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. Psalm 41:1-2
Before I was saved, I didn't notice the poor and wasn't aware of their existence. Shortly after my salvation experience, a man from Mobile, Alabama, moved up here with his family and showed me the poor in Ft Worth and taught me how to minister to them.
He was also with me when Jesus came to my office and took me to a graveyard and ordained me, and also when a boy died in our home, he prayed with us and the boy was raised from the dead! At that time, there were not many Spirit-filled people in our church, and God knew I needed someone to be in agreement with me.
The poor are not always without money; there are the poor in spirit, the downtrodden, and the infirm. Today, there is a beggar on every street corner, but most of them are scammers, too lazy to work, or addicted to drugs, and to help them is to enable them to continue their lifestyle!
The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed. Psalm 41:3
