Jeremiah 17:5-10 / Luke 16:19-31
To be poor is certainly not something to be proud of.
The poor depends on the charity of others.
At times, the poor are considered a problem by others.
And often, the poor are also disregarded and neglected.
But God favours the poor and He comes to their help.
Because for the poor, when everything else fails, then God is their only help.
We know that God will come to the help of the poor.
And God will help the poor by sending us to help them.
We may not be able to help all the poor, or eradicate poverty.
But if there is one poor person that we can help, then let us do it.
Most of us already have what we need, and maybe even more than enough.
Let us always remember the poor, and help them in their need.
That is also what God wants of us.
