Read Psalm 41
Psalm 41:1 KJVS - Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
God will choose you as a candidate for deliverance I'd only He can be reminded of times when you have considered the poor and been kind to them. Being kind to people who do not have anything and anyone to sort them out in their time of trouble is a very powerful investment into your own life and personal security. God will deliver you in your time of trouble when you have been kind to the needy before.
The same way the enemy attacks others who do not seem to be cushioned enough in life is the same way the enemy wants to attack you. Remember people who ask you for help because they are truly in need. God will pay you back.
Make this a major part of your life. Consider people who are poor. Show tender mercies to people who are truly in a difficult situation. You never know when you will find yourself in the same situation. God will save you when you find yourself in a similar place.
Consider the poor.
Proverbs 19:17 KJVS - He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Don't be too high headed and fixated on looking at the negative aspects of giving to the poor. Don't give excuses like, " These people do not like to work that's why they are always hungry and in need". Allow yourself to have a soft side. Allow yourself to be merciful. You cannot be so strict all the time. If God decided to deal that way with you, you would be truly pitiful. Allow mercy rivers to flow out of your life. Be merciful and God will show you mercy.
Matthew 5:7 KJVS - Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Live.
