"Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act."
(Proverbs 3:27)
All of us have been given some measure of "power" here on earth. Even Jesus Christ told Pilate and I paraphrase, "the only power you have has been given to you from my Father in heaven."
Alot of people who have "power" abuse that power and will use it to manipulate people.
The Bible tells us "not to withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in YOUR power to act."
Who around you do you have the power to help? Financially? Spiritually? Do you have the opportunity to help someone be promoted? Do you have the power to bless someone's business? Has God prompted you to bless someone that has been faithful and deserving? If you have the power and the opportunity to do good to someone and you don't then who will?
God does good to us even when we don't deserve it so how much more should we do good to those that do?
