So I tried posting this the other day and it wasn't working well, so here it is again. These are verses the Lord has given me recently regarding the poor and regarding my upcoming move to Tanzania.... they're good stuff.... and TRUTH.... so, Enjoy. :)
He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; then it was well. Is not THAT what it means to know me? ~Jeremiah 22:16
Their Redeemer is STRONG, the Lord of hosts is His name; He will vigorously plead their cause so that He may bring rest to the earth. ~Jeremiah 50:34
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord's; upon them He has set the world. ~1 Samuel 2:8
Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. ~Proverbs 16:19
Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into a temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. ~1 Timothy 6:6-10
RELIGION that God our Father accepts as PURE and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ~James 1:27
what great verses!!
