But I am poor and needy; Yet the LORD thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. Psalm 40:17
I am poor and needy.
I have no resources, no status,
Marked by a want of affection,
Attention, or emotional support.
If we follow the examples around us,
We can temporarily distract ourselves.
We can entertain, or overindulge,
Deny or disguise.
And still we are poor and needy.
YET (This changes everything.)
The LORD (Remember who He is.)
THINKS (He has seen, He knows. He has a plan.)
Upon me. (And you. In our unique situations.)
He knows.
He knows my need.
He knows my lack.
He is moved with compassion and love
To act.
He is my help IN the situation.
He is my deliverer FROM the situation.
He sets me free.
He rescues me from every enemy, every threat.
He brings me up out of my chaos and places me next to Him.
He provides the very things I hunger for.
He makes me a new person.
He brings His word to me.
He will see me home.
All of those and more.
He is your deliverer as well.
Worship Him.
