The Poor and Needy!

The Poor and Needy!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you raise the poor from the dust and lift the needy from the ash heap. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In many communities, homelessness is a big issue. In many places, there is a coordinated effort to help those needing help. There are opportunities for those who find themselves in this situation, including outreach programs and government assisted housing. Volunteer organizations also assist those in need.

Psalm 113:4-8 (ESV) reminds us that God has not forgotten those who are poor and needy.

“The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!
Who is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people”.

God is working behind the scenes to provide for those in need. Praise his name for all he does.

The Poor and Needy?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you raise the poor from the dust and lift the needy from the ash heap. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In many communities around the nation, homelessness is a big issue. There are services for those who find themselves in this situation. There are outreach programs. There is government assisted housing. Even volunteer organizations assist those in need. In many towns and cities there is a coordinated effort to help those who find themselves needing help.

Psalm 113:4-9 (ESV) reminds us that God has not forgotten those who are poor and needy.

“The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!
Who is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!”

God is working behind the scenes to provide for those who are less fortunate. Praise his name for all he does.

Bless God?

Bless God?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will bless you as long as they live. In Jesus’ name, amen.

David, the psalmist, reports that he seeks God. The psalm reveals he does more than that. He thirsts for God. He has seen God’s power and glory.

Psalm 63:1-4 expresses the awe David has for God. God’s love is better than life.

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.”

David’s lips will praise, and he will lift his hands. Wherever you are. Stop for a moment, and praise God with your lips and lift your hands to him.
