2 To turn away the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the apoor of my people, that bwidowsmay be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Emotionally I have been in 2 different places financially speaking: stressed and unstressed. There was a time when I was super dupery stressed about money. We were in debt, we lived off of a savings account because my husband was only working during the summers and not working during the school year, and we were barely making ends meet.
During that time I often had thoughts of helping others or getting others gifts and such and all my ideas often cost money. I would quickly talk myself out of it because I knew our financial situation wasn't very good. Then one day I received a priesthood blessing that counseled me "in order for the Lord to bless me financially I needed to listen to my ideas and get things for people". I thought that was interesting and so I did, even though I didn't feel like we had the money to I showed faith in that counsel.
The most amazing thing followed. First of all the financial stress went away. My husband and I had a baby which resulted in money flowing into our lives, the following summer my husband made so much more money than he ever had previously. and we paid our debts with so much extra money to spare!
The Lord wanted me to help others so He could bless me and help me. When we turn our help from others, He cannot help us, but as we listen to our ideas He blesses us with more.
He has blessed me TEN FOLD!
