Daily Bible verse: Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord

Daily Bible verse for 7-6-2026 is Proverbs 19:17.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” — Proverbs 19:17

This proverb offers a simple but powerful reframe on generosity. When we help someone in need, Scripture says it’s not just an act of charity, it’s something closer to an investment. God himself takes on the debt, promising to reward those who show kindness to the less fortunate.

It’s a reminder that in a community like ours, small acts of generosity carry real weight, whether that’s helping a neighbor with groceries, supporting a local food pantry, or simply looking out for someone who’s struggling. This verse suggests that kindness is never wasted, even when it seems small or unnoticed. What we give freely to others is seen, remembered, and honored.

May this be an encouragement today to look for a way, however small, to be kind to someone in need.
