Be Eyes to the Blind; Feet to the Lame

[Thompson, Darryl]

Be Eyes to the Blind; Feet to the Lame

     I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. Job 29:15  

     Watch carefully, prayerfully, conscientiously, lest the mind become
so engrossed with many important business transactions that true
godliness is overlooked and love is quenched from the soul,
notwithstanding the great and pitiful need of your being God's helping
hand to the blind and to all others who are unfortunate. The most
friendless demand the most attention. Use your time and strength in
learning to be "fervent in spirit," to deal justly, and to love mercy,
"serving the Lord." Remember that Christ says, "Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me."


     God requires His people to be far more pitiful and considerate of
the unfortunate than they are. . . . God requires that the same
consideration which should be given to the widow and fatherless be given
to the blind and to those suffering under the affliction of other
physical infirmities. Disinterested benevolence is very rare in this age
of the world. . . .  It is strange that professed Christian men should
disregard the plain, positive teachings of the Word of God and feel no
compunction of conscience. God places upon them the responsibility of
caring for the unfortunate, the blind, the lame, the widow, and the
fatherless; but many make no effort to regard it.  

     There is a great work to be done in our world, and as we approach
the close of earth's history, it does not lessen in the least degree;
but when the perfect love of God is in the heart, wonderful things will
be done.
