"He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses." Proverbs 28:27 (NIV)
While contrasting Christian behavior versus worldly behavior, Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, basically said that he who gives to the poor will be blessed, while he who ignores to poor will be cursed.
We should make it a part of our behavior to be a blessing to those who are less fortunate than we are. Blessing were meant to be shared. We are blessed in order for us to be a blessing to others. Intentionally refusing to help someone who is in need may cause us to miss out on blessings in the future and cause us to have to endure curses instead.
