Why Are the children of יהוה begging bread???

There are some things that I need to talk about that has my inner being saddened and broken.  

Lately I've been hearing so many stories about the plight of my sisters and their children in this forsaken land.  Women who have been down trodden, trying to do what's right, trying to live clean but truly unable to do so.  Not by choice but out of lack. 

In the face of all this turmoil that's taking place in their lives, they are surrounded by teachers and preachers and brothers and sisters who hear their tales of woe, yet offer nothing but words of "sympathy." 

Dabarym 15:7 If there is a poor man with you, one of your brothers, in any of your towns in your land which יהוה your Mighty One is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother; 8but you shall freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks.…


Mashly 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Creator but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him

Mashly 21:13 Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry 

Yashayahu 58:6 Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? 7 is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

All these folks talking about building communities seeking financial assistance to do that, yet won't lift a finger to help someone in their need???  Give me several breaks.  This is not of יהוה. This is selfishness and greed. 

How can we expect a healing of our land and a pardoning of our wickedness if we are not truly humble?  We cannot be said to be seeking יהוה if we are not being obedient to His commands to provide for the widow the orphans and the poor in our midst.  

I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired of people being selfish and greedy and puffed up in their own righteousness while the people who are doing their darnedest to follow יהוה in all ways are being tossed aside and not looked after because they have a need others aren't trying to help meet.  If there are so many of who claim to be called by HIS name, why are there still so many we aren't taking care of?

We ALL have a responsibility to this call. And not enough people are answering it.  For surely if we were this plague wouldn't still be upon us. 

We need to stop being so self righteous and truly begin to act righteously.
