I found this section interesting because many (common) people are not taught investment strategies.
And if investing is mentioned to them, for example through their job, the process is not fully explained in terms they can understand. And it is true that many financial planners are looking out for their own profit rather than the benefit of the investor.

Giving to the oppressed or poor is what Jesus expects of us. He gives us many examples of helping the poor while He was here on earth. We do not need to know why that person is poor, only that we should help.

It was confirmed in my heart that giving with the right attitude is what God wants and expects of us who love Him. God loved us first and showed it by giving us his son. I love Jesus and He tells us to love one another. Giving to help someone in need or just to bless them out of the goodness of your heart is obeying what Jesus taught. I am thankful the Lord has given me a heart for giving and helping and I pray I always do it with love. It is challenging sometimes to know where to give because the needs seem so overwhelming, but, I have learned to ask God to direct my giving where it will benefit the most and give Him glory.

I never realized how not giving to the poor is connected to unanswered prayer.

It was eye-opening to realize that with the right attitude giving to others is giving to God. Giving is an act of worship.
