"If you give to the poor,

your needs will be supplied!

But a curse upon those who close their eyes to poverty."

~ Proverb 28:27 LAB

*

Bible Commentary: "God wants us to identify with the needy, not ignore them. The second part of the proverb could be restated, 'A blessing to those who open their eyes to human need.' If we help others when they are in trouble, they will be open to do whatever they can to return the favor (see Proverbs 11:24, 25). Paul promises that God will supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19); he does this through other people. What can we do today to help God supply someone's need?
