“The Blessings of Helping the Poor…”

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17

This is a precious scripture that shows how much the Lord loves the poor. Just as in the story of the “Good Samaritan,” the Lord always “pays back” those who take care of the poor. The Good Samaritan was the man who found the beggar by the side of the road; the man had been robbed, beaten, and left for dead. The “Good Samaritan” was a man from Samaria (whom the Jews hated), but he was the only one who would stop and help the poor man…

The Lord is telling us that when we help the poor (maybe this is someone who needs help with their electric bill, has no food, needs some gas for their car, or any other need), when we help them, God will not let this go without paying you back, and He always pays with “interest.”

Today, keep your eyes and heart open. Ask the Lord to let you “see” what He wants you to see… Where is the need? What does He want you to do? Always be open to the Lord and He will bless you back abundantly! Have a great day! You will find great joy and happiness in helping someone “who cannot pay you back,” because the Lord will! God bless you! Sherry
