Financial Discipleship – the Bible on the Poor预览

Returning to the story of Job, we learn about more than a blameless man losing everything and getting it all back twofold. From faithful and noble Job, we also learn what truly matters to the Lord: tending to those in need.

In chapter 29, Job considers some of the most righteous ways to love God and others:

• Help the poor who cry out
• Help the fatherless who are helpless
• Bring joy to the widows
• Become eyes for the blind and feet for those who cannot walk
• Take those in need under your wing
• Investigate the case you did not know
• Stop the unrighteous from taking advantage of others

So, how do we honor God?

By being obedient and humble enough to let Him use us to be a blessing to others.

Sometimes that means lending a hand. Sometimes that means bringing hope. Sometimes that means going out of your way. And sometimes that means being courageous and standing up to those who do wrong.
