Psalm 70:5: But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.

Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms

Evidently our poverty is our wealth, even as our weakness is our strength. My help in trouble, my deliverer out of it. 1

Living the Transformed Life

I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinks upon me. Psalm 40:17

  • He will allow desperate situations so we can experience His devoted love towards us.
  • He will allow unwarranted hostility so we can experience the fellowship of His suffering and the victory of His cross.
  • He will allow personal exhaustion and fatigue so we can experience His supernatural strength and peace.

When I had nothing left to give, He gave me everything I needed.

Praise and Prayer

Thank You Father for never hesitating to rescue me. Dear Jesus, please bring Your wise council upon every decision that I need to make.
