Psalm 41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Our response to the grace and generosity of God is to consider the poor. We give generously to those in need because He
has gifted us with abundant grace and riches. God has mercy on the poor and needy, and He uses us to give. We become instruments of God’s mercy and grace; the Lord uses us to grace others with His blessing. As we are forgiven, so we forgive; and as we are given, so we give.
The promise to those who consider the poor is that they will be blessed. God loves a cheerful giver. The Lord promises that He will deliver him in time of trouble, when he needs God’s help and salvation. “Though he (Jesus) was rich, yet he became poor that ye through his poverty might become rich.” The Gospel blesses us with all the riches of God in Christ Jesus.
