God’s supplemental insurance policy, Part 1

“How blessed is he who considers the helpless; the Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble. The Lord will protect him and keep him alive, and he shall be called blessed upon the earth; and do not give him over to the desire of his enemies. The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; in his illness, You restore him to health.”  Psalm 41:1-3

Several years ago I discovered an insurance policy in the Bible that far surpassed the one I enjoyed as a teacher. I didn’t abandon the policy through my school, but I did take a serious look at the policy outlined in the Word of God. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse.

A quick survey of the benefits listed in this policy—spelled out in Psalm 41:1-3—made the price of securing it well worth the expenditure. I call it Policy #PS41-1-3.

Policy #PS41-1-3 benefits:

• Deliverance of policy holder in a day of trouble
• Protection and life sustenance for policy holder
• Policy holder will be called blessed upon the earth
• Policy holder will not be handed over to the will of his/her enemies
• Policy holder will be strengthened while upon sickbed
• Policy holder will be restored to health when ill

Do you like what you see? I sure did, and I set up an appointment to discuss it with my Agent as quickly as I could. He assured me that this policy was lifelong in coverage, and that the disbursements would occur as often as I had need. This policy also provides for limitless payouts—and is good toward rewards after death.

I signed up immediately with clear instructions from my Agent that this policy was actually supplemental to my primary policy called “The Finished Work” policy (TFW). He told me that I already qualified for the TFW through my status as a believer in Christ. The way I look at it, no matter what happens in this crazy world, I am covered by my Insurance Agent with policies—each of which include lifelong grace periods.

Jesus paid for “The Finished Work” policy on Calvary, and it is active in your life free of charge if you have received Jesus as your Lord.

However, supplemental policy #PS41-1-3 does include fees that you pay as your Agent directs.

In a nutshell, this is the price that you are charged: consider the helpless. My Agent made it very clear to me that this kind of giving was different than the tithe; neither was it an extra offering thrown into the plate on Sunday morning. The payment toward this policy is what the Old Testament called “alms”.

Alms are money, food, or other donations given to the poor or needy. If you sign up for this supplemental policy, your Agent will quickly direct you to individuals who have need, and He will have you target them with cash, food, or other necessities. He may send you on stealth operations; He may enlist you in face-to-face contact. He may give you an ongoing project; He may thrust you into one-time blitz assignments. Sometimes your target is a friend, a relative, or an acquaintance; at other times it is a complete stranger. Capital may involve your favorite coat; it could be lunch money or a ten or a twenty; it might be paying vet bills or rent; it may be money for a car. This Agent is a shrewd Financier, and He knows the best way for you to invest into your policy.

I am sold on this supplement to “The Finished Work” policy. Talk to my Agent; He’ll set you up with an offer you can’t refuse!
