Give Generously to the Poor

 Scripture:

“Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.”Deuteronomy‬ ‭15‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God, as He was giving instructions to the Israelites about how to live in the Promised Land, told them that the poor and the foreigner they would always have with them. He tells them here to be generous in giving to the poor, and to not be grudging about it, then the Lord will bless everything you do.

Application:

God has much to say about us taking care of the poor. Jesus did as well. We must never stop blessing those who are poor among us. Sometimes it is easier to judge people and why they are in the situation they are in, than to just help them or give them something. We want to feel like we are making a good investment and they have to go through training to be wise financially. We were never told that in Scrpture, we were told to give to the poor.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are great and glorious and worthy of honor and praise. You are holy and righteous and deserving of my best. Help me to never look down on people because of their economic situation, but to take care of the poor and give to them as Your describe in Your word. Help me to walk this life the way You desire. I long for your direction. I long for Your instruction. You are the only one worthy of my praise.

Your Son,

Jeff
