Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
He is ever
merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are
blessed.”
Here is a testimony to God’s normal moral order in which the
righteous is usually adequately provided materially. Also, his children. Righteousness
connects to mercy and mercy to lending. I have been remiss [as a doctor] in
failing to recommend this kind of attitude and behavior as a “health
maintenance” maneuver to people who can afford to do so. Of course, if the
motive is to gain from God, the connection likely is severed.
