This cannot be over stressed. He loves you with the most intense and profound love possible. It is a love stronger than any found on earth between any two people.God loves every one of His created beings, bar none.
It is the will of God that no one should ever be separated from Him. However, He did not make us robotic. He allowed us independence with our free will to respond to His love and His call, or to outright deny, reject and scoff at Him.
Inexplicably, many people serve money rather than the Creator of the Universe, their own Creator, and the Lover of their Souls.
Yet, David tells us in Psalm 72:12 that God will deliver all the needy who cry out.
While God is the ultimate deliverer. He frequently acts through human agents to meet the immediate physical needs of the poor.
While God is the ultimate deliverer. He frequently acts through human agents to meet the immediate physical needs of the poor.
For instance:
- God used Joseph to save his family from starvation by bringing them to Egypt, turning his brothers’ evil intentions into a means of salvation. (Genesis 50:20)
- God used Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses acted as God’s agent for guidance, law, and to secure sustenance like manna and water in the wilderness. (Exodus chapters 3, 4; 16:4)
- God used Rehab, a prostitute, to hide and protect Israelite spies, saving her family in the process. (Joshua chapter 2)
- God used Boaz to act as a kinsman-redeemer, providing security and food for Ruth and Naomi. (Ruth chapters 2-4)
- God used Esther’s position as queen to save the Jewish people from Haman’s plot. (Esther chapter 8)
- God looked for individuals to stand in the gap and intervene on behalf of the land to prevent destruction. (Ezekiel 22:30)
- God uses people to deliver the needy as an extension of His divine providence, acting through human agents to answer cries for help.
- God used believers to sell their possessions to distribute to those in need, acting as God’s hands to meet the basic needs of the community. (Acts 2:45)
- God often chooses the weak or ordinary to fulfill divine purposes. (1 Corinthians 1:27)
And many more times the Bible emphasizes that God loves justice and tells of mandates that His followers protect and provide for the vulnerable (orphans, widows, the poor).
Many religious and spiritual beliefs hold that God places people in our lives for specific purposes, such as teaching lessons, offering support, challenging us, or guiding us toward our destiny, and these individuals aren’t there by accident but for divine reasons, even if the relationships are temporary or painful. These people serve to make us stronger, provide encouragement, help us grow, or reflect God’s love, sometimes fulfilling a role as mentors, friends, or even people we need to help ourselves.
Reasons people are put in your life:
- To teach lessons: Some people are meant to teach us important life lessons, about ourselves, or about God’s love.
- To provide support: They might come to help you through difficulties, offer guidance, or give you a new perspective.
- To help you grow: They can be placed in your path to help you reach your potential and strengthen your faith.
- To fulfill a divine plan: God may orchestrate relationships to connect people, for someone to minister to you, or for you to minister to them.
- For a specific season: Some relationships are meant to be short-lived, serving a purpose for a particular time before they end, often for a better reason.
In essence, everyone we encounter has significance, whether they stay for a lifetime or just a moment, fulfilling a part in a larger, purposeful journey.
This demonstrates God’s love for justice, encourages community responsibility, and allows believers to act as His hands and feet, transforming acts of charity into a tangible relationship with Him.
God often prompts or “puts in place” specific people to be the answer to a prayer, making human intervention an extension of divine mercy.
By using others, God calls people to be active participants in righteousness, transforming compassion into concrete help.
We are called to pray for God’s intervention, allowing us to be instruments of His work. (1Timothy 2:1)
When you step up to help, it will lead you to give thanks to God, establishing within you a deeper spiritual connection with Him.
