Read Pr. 22:7-9
If we are in Christ then we are the rich and we rule the poor. In the blessings God gave the children of Israel in Duet. 28 God said that if we obey his Word then he will open his treasure for us and the work of our hands will be blessed. We will lend to many nations and not have to borrow. The Lord will make us the head, and not the tail; and we shall be above only, and shall not be beneath. If we don't live by the Word of God then the curses go on and on: you can read them in Duet. 28. Our blessings are for us, and for us to share. We are responsible with what we have been given. If we have the heart of God then we will want to share and give to the poor. The poor are the destitute and the weak. If they are poor in physical needs then we can help them get back on their feet so they can provide for themselves. If they are poor in spirit then we can teach them how to live in the kingdom of God and still live on this earth. God promises to supply all our needs according to his riches in heaven and that is more than enough.
Lord, thank you for your provision and your abundance that you pour out so lavishly on your children. May we have that same heart of kindness.
