Despise the Poor
Listen
Welcome to this new day! The Lord’s mercy never fails or fades away. It always remains the same in every season of our life on good or bad days. The people around us look for opportunities to extract from us. When they know that we are no longer beneficial for them, they will want to withdraw from us.
In Proverbs:19:7, it says, “The relatives of the poor despise them; how much more will their friends avoid them! Though the poor plead with them, their friends are gone.” It talks about poor people who don’t have enough to meet their needs as even their relatives despise them because they are poor and not reputable. Most of our associations are because of what they can extract from us which includes our families and relatives. This talks about physical poverty but it applies to spiritual poverty.
When a person cannot walk, talk with God, do we have to despise them? As a church, we despise poor people, broke, black sliding in the Spirit. We look down and talk ill about them.
The father in Luke:15 leaves everything aside to embrace his poor son emotionally who has poor physically, spiritually, emotionally. At that moment, his sonship had been rejected and yet the father embraces and gives him everything.
When we know people who are poor spiritually, we must embrace them and not despise them. Share on XMay we help spiritually poor people and allow our love and commitment to reach out and demands a sacrifice.
