ThePoor

We are blessed !!!

Let us be thankful 

As we remember those

less fortunate . . .

During the Christmas season, people often focus on the joy and cheer of the holidays. 

However, it is important to remember those in our communities who are not as fortunate. 

Poverty does not take a break for Christmas, headlines illustrate the harsh reality of poverty during this special time of year. 

Recent news stories have reported on how poverty continues to affect more and more people around the world.

NEW YORK/PORT-AU-PRINCE, DECEMBER 22, 2022—

The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has begun supporting a cholera vaccination campaign in Haiti as a resurgence of the disease has affected more than 15,000 people and killed approximately 300 since the end of September. 

The campaign is being led and managed by Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP).

For people migrating through Central America to the United States, the only certainty is suffering. From crossing treacherous rivers and hiding from predatory gangs in the jungles of the Darién Gap to immigration fines in Honduras and robbery and extortion in Guatemala, those who flee their countries in search of a better life often face extreme danger and violence.

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

In despair I shook my head . . .

"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved"

There is very very little that 

humans can know for sure.

Beliefs are only helpful if they 

are scriptural and from God.

Where does that leave us?

Pretty much 'in the dark' most of the time awash in meaningless facts and data?

Some lean hard on various professional "opinion", legal and medical opinions can be sought and bought for varying prices depending as usual on the market 'forces' of supply and demand. 

It is with this in mind that the biblical statement stands out in the mind of the believer (Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38)

Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons . . . 

thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew 

first, and also to the Gentile: 

For there is no respect 

of persons with God.
