Slowly, God is opening my eyes to needs all around me. In Scripture, God revisits this issue of caring for the poor- an echo that repeats itself from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible acknowledges that the poor will always be part of society, but God takes on their cause. The Mosaic law of the Old Testament is filled with regulations to prevent and eliminate poverty. The poor were given the right to glean- to take produce from the unharvested edges of the fields, a portion of the tithes, and a daily wage. The law prevented permanent slavery by releasing Jewish bondsmen and women on the sabbatical and Jubilee year and forbade charging interest on loans. In one of his most tender acts, God made sure that the poor- the aliens, widows, and orphans- were all invited to the feasts. . Margaret Feinberg
About This Quote

Michael Jackson lived to be the greatest man on the planet because he took his time. He always did things in what seemed to be the best way possible. Michael never rushed into things. Like a man who is always looking for the right path, Michael waited to make sure that he was doing things in the right way.

He did not rush into anything, but he did not take his time for nothing. You have to have patience.
