Psalms 146:9 “ The LORD watches over the sojourners he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.“ Bible Verses About OrphansĮxodus 22:22 You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. I quote some verses that talk directly about orphans (and fatherless too) but I included some other verses that remind us of our responsibility to help the needy and poor also.
I have made 3 subcategories under this topic of orphans. Jesus would even tell His disciples that He came help the sick (and we know that many do not think they are sick and in need of a rescue that only comes from knowing Jesus personally). We may think that we are strapped financially but if we think realistically, if we are able to be looking on the internet and searching for guidance from God Scripturally, then we are probably more blessed financially than many others around us.
It doesn’t matter what income level you are at, there will almost always be people that are more needy than we are. If we truly desire to have a heart like Jesus, we will always be seeking to help out those that are not as fortunate or blessed as we are.
