“For God delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper. “Psalms 72:12
As I examine Christ’s view of the needy, I need to examine my attitude toward them. Am I ignoring those in need or asking how can I help?
These needs include the spiritual as well as physical and material needs. My friends, what have we done this month, this week or even today to help our neighbors? What volunteer opportunities are there available to us? Especially consider reaching out to those at risk in the winter cold. Keep in mind the children at risk. So many children are living below the poverty levels in our communities. Is there a program available that needs our help and/or donations? A program where we can make a difference in the life of one that needs a helper?
I encourage you to ask and endeavor to answer these questions and help to where you are able.
