Psalm 41:1-3:
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
Notes on Psalm 41:1-3:
While we can’t buy our healing because Jesus already bought it, some people may get healed without really being in faith just because God blesses them for being generous. This is similar to the idea that if you tithe, God will rebuke the devourer for your sake. (Under the New Covenant, YOU have the right to run off the devourer yourself, but it’s still an extra blessing when God just does it for you.) It is also reminiscent of Isaiah 58:6-11, where God promised people that if they would stop oppressing one another and help the poor, their health would spring forth speedily.
