Consider the Poor?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who consider the poor. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Great resources are devoted to helping those who are less fortunate. Many faith-based initiatives and aid workers help those with food insecurity, housing, and a host of other goods and services.
Psalm 41:1 has a note in the English Standard Version that makes reference to the word “poor,” and indicates the word “weak” can be substituted.
Psalm 41:1-2 follows:
“Blessed is the one who considers the poor!
In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
The Lord sustains him on his sickbed;
in his illness you restore him to full health.”
Amazing how the Lord will protect, sustain, and restore those who are God’s hands and feet to the poor.
