Psalms 41:1-3 NLT Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble. The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies. The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.
We live in a society where we’re taught to get all we can and keep it for ourselves. Very few people are consistently kind to the poor. We know it’s a good thing to help, but most of us don’t position ourselves to really help them. We limit our finances to ourselves and to our loved ones, and our lives are too busy to take a day to serve them.
God understood that people would have a hard time helping the poor, which is why He put a few promised perks in His word that would encourage kindness.
As we can see, those who are kind to the poor can expect joy, to be rescued from trouble, protection, prosperity, and restoration of health. Any time we help the poor, we can be in faith for these things to happen for us.
Help the poor to spread kindness and to represent the Kingdom of God, but if not, understand that you’re passing up these promised perks.
