One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed. Proverbs 19:17
Most of us are very concerned about keeping our money. We worry about someone taking advantage of us, and think very carefully before we loan money or give it away. We become suspicious when the needs of poor people are presented to us, and find any excuse possible to avoid getting involved. The Lord makes a very interesting promise here. When we help the poor, we are making a loan to the Lord, and providing on His behalf. Can we trust the Lord to repay us in full? Can we depend on Him to make repayment in full with interest? He says we can trust Him, and I believe it. The world may tell us to stay away, but in the Lord’s economy, we can invest with confidence.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
