the poor

1 Tim 5:5
5The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.

The Bible has several examples of God’s focused attention on the needs of the poor. From the evidence in the Bible, and what we know historically, Joseph and Mary would be classified as, “working poor,” today. So, God himself comes into our world as poor and vulnerable. He understands and responds to the cries of his people.

Pray for the poor in your community.
