The poor literarily is a person of lesser
privilege, the rich in the other hand has some things the poor lack.
One thing Jesus will not do is to
look down on the poor, he would rather sit and enjoy their company and not just
talk and talk with them, he will provide for that which they will eat. He gives
to the poor, the real sense of giving not the pity-type of it.(with love)
You and I have some things others
lack and are seriously searching for, most of the times we don’t even need most
or all of these things, but to let go of them becomes a difficulty. The rich
wants more but they give less.
The bad side and most devious
part is you taking away from the poor the little they have, I guess you can
remember the most wicked of all kings in the bible, he had all but still wanted
the less Naboth had. King Ahab got married to Jezebel and believe me this
combination made matters worse. He asked Naboth for his vineyard and he refused
because that was his only inheritance. Jezebel planned for Naboth to be stoned.
God was angry for this, he could not behold such a wicked act. Ahab escaped
God’s punishment because he humbled himself but his household didn’t.
There are times you use the poor
and refuse to pay for their service(s), they work for you and you see it has your
right because you believe they are not important, don’t forget you are taking
from them the little they have.
God detest it when you can’t give
to others, he hates it more when you even take from them. Open your eyes to the
need of people around you so that you won’t unintentionally take from them.
