The Book Of Proverbs: God's wisdom For Righteous Living
Proverbs 29:7
The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.
No one is saying that poor people should always live on the state or fed govt payroll forever, unless they are not able to work, but we still need a comprehensive social program to help fill in the huge gaps that need to be filled in times of trouble.
Life is not fair, and evil is in the very fabric of every society and country. We have to have fair laws and resources that help poor people lift themselves out of the crippling proverty that is found everywhere in our world.
Some people are poor because the system that they live in does not allow them to lift themselves out of the trap in which they were born into. Some people are poor because they do not have the resources or training that could help them to advance, and some people are poor because they lost the battle in life and this meant that they lost everything that they had...
We need to be concerned by the problems of poor people, because if we do not help the people that need our help the most, why should God help us when we are in need?
God wants us to help other people, regardless of why they are in the situation that they find themselves in, even if they can never pay us back for what we can do for them. God will bless everyone who is willing to give to other people from their hearts....
