Proverbs 19:17 - He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD

He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.

The Scripture tells us that one of the greatest ROIs (Return On Investment) comes when we lend to the poor. The God who came to earth in the humble manger identifies Himself with the poor more than any other economic class. As we are faced with the devastation in Haiti, one of the poorest areas of the earth, are we willing to lend to the Lord by helping the Haitian people?

Matthew 28:18-20 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

In these verses, known as The Great Commission, Jesus commands His disciples to go, to baptize, and to make disciples everywhere. God's plan to make disciples of people throughout the world is part of His overall, long-term objective of making His name great among the nations (Mal. 1:11).
