The Joys Of Those

As God's children who exhibit His character, we are to be kind to the poor, the needy, the lonely, the weak, and the hurting. Our Lord is a God who rescues those who are in trouble. He protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity, nurses and restores them to health, and delivers them from their enemies. We are never to justify protecting a person who is taking advantage of God's people and hurting them with his/her sinfulness and lies.

"Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!

The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.

The Lord protects them

and keeps them alive.

He gives them prosperity in the land

and rescues them from their enemies.

The Lord nurses them when they are sick

and restores them to health."

Psalm 41:1-3 (NLT)
