Rather than “looking out for” only “number 1” — for ourselves — God commands us to look out for those deserving of our goodness — whether that goodness is help, aid, praise, love, affection, attention, or affirmation. We should act decisively and give these deserving people what they need. We are to be a people, as Paul tells us, saved by Jesus and “eager to do good deeds” (Titus 2:14). “Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Proverbs 3:27”
