Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me

The Care Of The Poor

Psa 41:3  The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
 

Remember that this is a promise to the man who considers the poor. Are you one of these? Then take home the text.

See how in the hour of sickness the GOD of the poor will bless the man who cares for the poor!


The everlasting arms shall stay up his soul as friendly hands and downy pillows stay up the body of the sick.

How tender and sympathizing is this image; how near it brings our GOD to our infirmities and sicknesses!

Whoever heard this of the old heathen Jove, or of the gods of India or China! This is language peculiar to the GOD of Israel; He it is who deigns to become nurse and attendant upon good men

If He smites with one hand, He sustains with the other.

Oh, it is blessed fainting when one falls upon the LORD's own bosom and is born thereon!

Grace is the best of restoratives; divine love is the safest stimulant for the languishing patient; it makes the soul strong as a giant, even when the bones are breaking through the skin.

No physician like the LORD, no tonic like His promise, no wine like His love.

If the reader has failed in his duty to the poor, let him see what he is losing and at once become their friend and helper. 


~Charles Spurgeon~
