Blind Indifference

When cruelty comes with blind indifference my humanity becomes my best defense.
But if you consider the alternative I really didn't have that much to give.
A tragic victim of my circumstance ‘old age’ has set in with all its finance.
Never give the devil a second chance. If you do you know that you never will advance.
I believe that this subject is very close to the heart of G-d, but sadly many preachers stay away from this subject because they are desperate to hold on to the money coming into their church for operating expenses and building costs. If they could only understand that G-d's abundance is released into our personal lives and into our ministries when we believe and obey the L-rd concerning the care of orphans & widows. I firmly believe that it is vitally important to our financial lives both personally and corporately, because after all, G-d is our provider and it is His command to care for those who can't take care of themselves. So when we obey Him by releasing our finances and possessions, our Provider takes care of us.
Importance in scripture:
Caring for the orphans, widows, & poor - over 118 times, 44 for orphans
I don’t think most of us realize how important caring for orphans and widows is to the Father.
The USA does not have orphans because we have group homes and foster homes.
Do you even know of any church or ministry that helps the widows in the USA? The church has left that responsibility to the government. Now I am taking about true widows, not ones that have a savings account or stocks, but the ones that are in the need of help.
To whom will you flee for help? The idea is, "When you have forsaken others in their time of need, who will you go to for help when you are in need?"
Psalms 68:5 – G-d is to be a Father to the fatherless; & a Defender of widows this very nature of Him has been imparted to the church and is a very vital part of our responsibility as children of G-d.
What is He telling that we are to do to tap into this amazing abundance of His’s blessings?
Share your bread with the hungry.
Don’t hide from your own flesh – deal with its issues.
Don’t avoid caring for those in your own household of faith.
House the poor - the orphans & widows who have no home.
Clothe the naked
Take away the yoke from your midst’s - relieve oppression wherever you find it
Stop pointing your finger in scorn at those who are oppressed or in sin
Stop gossiping and slandering your brothers and sisters
Care for those that are afflicted or sick.
Visit the ‘shut ins’.
It’s not a hard thing to do to fulfill these commands of G-d in order to receive the promises of G-d. If you have unanswered prayers in your life, check this short list to see if you are complying with these things that G-d desires of you.
Recap with the promises in Isaiah 58:
This is the way to get everything in this life that you need from G-d.
It guarantees that your prayers will be answered.
It guarantees that your healing will come quickly.
It guarantees that the glory of the L-rd & the Holy Spirit will be your rear guard
It guarantees that when you call, He will answer “here am I”
It guarantees that your light - your joy, peace happiness - will break forth in the middle of crisis and problems -no darkness can overcome you.
It guarantees that the L-rd will guide you continually.
It guarantees that even in drought - even if all the financial kingdoms of the earth are failing, you will be satisfied - you will not be brought to ruin.
It guarantees that your body will be strengthened, to give you the best quality of life.
It guarantees that you life will be an ever-flowing spring of life that never fails.
If you are sowing into God’s kingdom, He will see to it that your house is cared for.
Don’t go through life with blind indifference to His wishes.
