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.

Cast Into Fire?

Cast Into Fire?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who shall give thanks to your name. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Often evil people gather to carry out their sinister plans.

Psalm 140:9-13 (ESV) starts off referencing a leader of enemy forces who is trying to destroy the psalmist.

“As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence.”

God can surely destroy our enemies. Let believers give thanks for their deliverance. God is working behind the scenes, so we often do not know what evil has been defeated before it ever reaches us. Praise God.

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.

“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 Hears the Needy?

God Hears the Needy?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord hears the needy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Whether around the world or at the local level, there are those in need. There are those suffering from a heavy heart, loss of a loved one, food insecurity, or homelessness. The list goes on and on.

In Psalm 69:33-36 (ESV) we learn God is listening.

“For the Lord hears the needy
and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and everything that moves in them.
For God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and people shall dwell there and possess it;
the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall dwell in it.”

Whatever the need, ask God for his help. He cares about you personally. Don’t delay. Pray.
