Message in Brief
In this Daily Bible Message, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on Proverbs 21:13, which warns that whoever closes their ears to the cry of the poor will themselves cry out and not be heard. She emphasizes that Earthly life is not the final end, referencing the account of the rich man and Lazarus to highlight how our actions towards others matter for eternity. God values justice, righteousness, and active compassion over mere ritual or wealth. Believers are called to open their hearts, support widows, orphans, and the needy, and practice practical love so that their prayers will be heard and blessed by God.
