顧念窮人

經文: 「他病重在榻，耶和華必扶持他；他在病中，您必給他舖床。」（詩篇四十一︰3）

上帝把這節經文的應許，賜給那些顧念窮人的義人。你是其中之一嗎？那麼把它用在你身上吧！

看看我們這位顧念窮人的上帝，是如何看顧在病中的義人！祂全能的膀臂托住他的靈魂，就像枕頭床榻托住他的身體，這是多麼貼心的安慰！讓患者在病痛中，覺得更親近上帝！中國和印度的神祇，可曾給人這樣的形象﹖只有以色列的上帝，願扮演義人的守護神。若祂一手擊打你，祂必以另一手來扶持你。若能暈倒在祂的懷中，也是一件美得無比的事！上帝的愛是病人煎熬中最佳的良藥，祂的恩惠更是一劑強心針，即使已骨瘦如柴病入膏肓，祂也會使人靈魂健壯如巨人。世上沒有一位醫生像上帝那樣全能，沒有一帖補藥，像祂應許那樣有效，沒有任何美酒，像上帝的愛那樣甜美醉人！

若讀者忘了向窮人行善，想想這將失去多少福份！來吧，趕快成為他們的朋友，幫助他們。


The Care of the Poor

Scripture: "The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing"(Psalm 41:3).

Remember that this is a promise to the man who considers the poor. Are you one of these? Then take home the text.
See how in the hour of sickness the God of the poor will bless the man who cares for the poor! The everlasting arms shall stay up his soul as friendly hands and downy pillows stay up the body of the sick. How tender and sympathizing is this image; how near it brings our God to our infirmities and sicknesses! Whoever heard this of the old heathen Jove, or of the gods of India or China! This is language peculiar to the God of Israel; He it is who deigns to become nurse and attendant upon good men. If He smites with one hand, He sustains with the other. Oh, it is blessed fainting when one falls upon the LORD's own bosom and is born thereon. Grace is the best of restoratives; divine love is the safest stimulant for the languishing patient; it makes the soul strong as a giant, even when the bones are breaking through the skin. No physician like the LORD, no tonic like His promise, no wine like His love.
If the reader has failed in his duty to the poor, let him see what he is losing and at once become their friend and helper.
