Give and It Will Be Given To You!!!

Many people think of the poor as an inconvenience. That some don’t deserve to live and breathe the same air as them. Even feeling that the poor are being punished for wrongdoing or for who they are. While knowing that there are systems in place that are meant to disenfranchise many. At the same time, being complacent and complicit co-conspirators in it. But the God who created the heavens and the earth is the one that determined before even setting the foundations, every man, woman, and child that should walk the earth. Carefully forming us before He set us in the womb.

It is a well-established fact that women are born with all the eggs or oocytes during fetal development. And that no new eggs are produced after birth. But that these eggs can actually decline throughout her life. This is God’s omniscience, a very small part of His omnipresence. Yet men and women would believe, that they in their frail human form have the right to decide who lives or dies. Every life is precious to God. “For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139: 13, AMP).

“If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought in thine wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee” (Deuteronomy 15: 7-9, KJV).

God’s love for and responsiveness to the poor and needy is confirmed throughout His Word. Here are but a few examples. I want you to compare your ways to His ways.

“For He will rescue the needy when he cries for help, the afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and He will save the lives of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and fraud and violence, and their blood will be precious in His sight” (Psalm 72: 12-14, AMP). And again, “When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them” (Isaiah 41: 17, KJV). And once more, “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him” (Psalm 12: 5, KJV).

“You shall freely and generously give to him, and your heart shall not be resentful when you give to him, because for this [generous] thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings. For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in the land.’” (Deuteronomy 15: 10-11, AMP).

Take heed that it says to your brother, your needy, and to your poor. Putting the responsibility on us. Now for those who would attempt to make this revelation irrelevant because it is an Old Testament command, let’s hear it from the mouth of Jesus Himself. “For you always have the poor with you; but you will not always have Me” (Matthew 26: 11, AMP).
