Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.
Proverbs 21:13
NLT Bible
We don't know what can happen to us tomorrow, next week or even in the coming year. Life is unpredictable. Things may be going well for us at the moment, but our situation may change and we too may need to ask for help someday. All around us, there are people in need and if we ignore their cries, our pleas for help will go unheard in our time of need. How can we claim to love God and be oblivious to the cries of our brothers and sisters who are in need?
As human beings, we have a responsibility to each other and our help should extend to everyone who needs it, not just our friends or fellow believers. Every person in need deserves our help. Sometimes it's more than financial help. A sick or grieving person may need emotional help, maybe a shoulder to cry on or assistance with various tasks. Whatever the cry, we have to listen and respond. If we fail, we run the risk of being ignored in our time of need.
Thank you Lord for all that You've given me. Help me to respond to the needs of others, to reach out in love and compassion and do whatever I can to ease their load. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
