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.
