If there be any kindness I can show or any good thing I can do.
Let me do it now; Let me not defer it, or neglect it for I shall not pass
this way again."
Luke 4:16-21.
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom,
He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read... "The
Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He appointed Me to preach the gospel
to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery
of sight to the blind, to set free those who are downtrodden, to proclaim
the favorable year of the LORD.
Ps. 140:12.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice
for the poor.
Is. 25:4.
For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his
distress.
Ps. 10:14.
The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan...
O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their
heart, You will incline Your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed.
Is 41:17.
The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, and their tongue
is parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them Myself, as the God of
Israel I will not forsake them.
Luke 6:20-21.
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours in the kingdom of God. Blessed are
you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now,
for you shall laugh.
James 2:5. Did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
This is an admonition to us all...Let's never think we are so big or powerful that we can walk on or mistreat the poor and needy of this world. (You might want to see... "Be Humble")
