God's Welfare Program

Deuteronomy 15:4–6 (HCSB)

"There will be no poor among you, however, because the LORD is certain to bless you in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance—if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow every one of these commands I am giving you today. When the LORD your God blesses you as He has promised you, you will lend to many nations but not borrow; you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.

This is God's welfare program. It is our duty to take care of our neighbors--not the government's! If we as a nation will obey God He will bless us. There will be abundance--plenty to go around.

There is no bureaucracy in God's welfare program. We do not give to the state and the state gives to our neighbor. We give it directly to our neighbor. This direct method is the most efficient. Being personally connected we are more familiar with the need. And by giving directly we are promised a special blessing. Another benefit of God's method is that it keeps our eyes and hearts open.

The fact that we are now the greatest debtor nation on earth is evidence that we have turned away from following God. He is blessing people within our borders, but He is not blessing us as a nation.

We need to repent! It is not too late to return to God and return to obedience.

May God have mercy on America!
