Remember The Poor

Psalm 41
Verse 1-3 "Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble. The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies. The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health."

It has been said that you reward the conduct that you want to see duplicated, it sounds like God values kindness to to poor more than rubbing elbows with the mighty. Look at the rewards he promises in response to our kindness and compassion to the poor:

He will rescue you when you are in trouble.
He will protect you and keep you alive.
He will give you prosperity.
He will rescue you from your enemies.
He will nurse you when you are sick and restore you to health
