Day 141: Proverbs 29-31
One thing that has surprised me about reading the proverbs is how many proverbs concern the poor and needy, specifically how we need to defend the poor and come to their aid when they need it. This emphasis on having a heart for the poor indicates to me that God views this issue as extremely important. Poverty is a real concern in our nation. We have people working jobs that don't allow them to match their meager income to their expenses: even though they work hard, they still can't survive. This situation is just immoral, and God recognizes this. Wow. He's amazing. Another reason why God deserves our praise. He cares about the poor and the underprivileged and the marginalized. Who wouldn't want to have a God like that?
