Daily Fountain Devotional 17 October 2022 Message
Solomon in today’s passage, talks about the relationship expected between the rich and the poor and the end result. The rich who tolerates the poor is considered righteous while the one who oppresses the poor is classified wicked. It is important to understand from the scripture that God created both the rich and the poor. So the poor deserve equal treatment as the rich.
Therefore, the poor should not be oppressed. Anyone who oppresses the poor reproaches God (v.31). And anyone who reproaches God is considered the wicked who live without hope after death. It is the righteous that have hope of resurrection when they die. It is proper we know that human status in life is determined by God. The poor is neither inferior to the rich, nor the rich superior to the poor.
They are both God’s handiwork so we should not allow sentiments to rule over our minds while treating issues relating to both. The rich deserve a fair hearing, so do the poor. Therefore, they should be treated equally so that God will not be reproached.
PRAYER: Are you ready to speak for the poor, even in the face of fat brown envelope?
