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<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 Psalm 41:1-3<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago I discovered an insurance policy in the Bible that far surpassed the one I enjoyed as a teacher. I didn\u2019t 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\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n<p>A quick survey of the benefits listed in this policy\u2014spelled out in Psalm 41:1-3\u2014made the price of securing it well worth the expenditure. I call it Policy #PS41-1-3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Policy #<em>PS41-1-3<\/em> benefits<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deliverance of policy holder in a day of trouble<\/li>\n<li>Protection and life sustenance for policy holder<\/li>\n<li>Policy holder will be called blessed upon the earth<\/li>\n<li>Policy holder will not be handed over to the will of his\/her enemies<\/li>\n<li>Policy holder will be strengthened while upon sickbed<\/li>\n<li>Policy holder will be restored to health when ill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you like what you see? I sure did, and I set up an appointment to discuss it with\u00a0my 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\u2014and is good toward rewards after death.<\/p>\n<p>I signed up immediately with clear instructions from my Agent that this policy was actually supplemental to\u00a0my primary policy\u00a0called \u201cThe Finished Work\u201d 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\u2014each of which include lifelong grace periods.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus paid for \u201cThe Finished Work\u201d policy on Calvary, and it is active in <em>your<\/em> life free of charge if you have received Jesus as your Lord.<\/p>\n<p>However, supplemental policy #PS41-1-3 does include fees that you pay as your Agent directs.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, this is the price that you are charged: <strong><em>consider the helpless<\/em><\/strong>. 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 \u201calms\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I am sold on this supplement to \u201cThe Finished Work\u201d policy. Talk to my Agent; He\u2019ll set you up with an offer you can\u2019t refuse!<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy<\/p>\n<p><em>How blessed is he who considers the helpless\u2026 <\/em>Psalm 41:1a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow blessed is he who considers the helpless; the Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.
