Proverbs 21:13
13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor
will also cry out and not be answered.
Wow what a verse for us to think about right after Christmas when we have spent so much money on ourselves and our kids who already have everything under the sun. In this verse God makes it very clear that we need to help the poor. During Christmas we see all kinds of stories about how folks are helping those in need which is awesome. The bad thing is it seems to stop right after Christmas. We should always be ready to help those who are in need out of the blessings God has given to us. The later part of this verse should really grab our attention. For if we are not open to helping others God informs us here that when the time comes that we are in need our cries will not be heard! That is God's way of telling us what goes around comes around!!!
So stop and think this morning...when is the last time you helped someone in need? We had better make it a daily habit!
