PHOTO: Psalm 41
Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth,
You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
The Lord will strengthen him on the bed of illness,
You will sustain him on his sickbed.
I said, "Lord, be merciful to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."
My enemies speak evil of me,
"When will he die, and his name perish?"
And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies,
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.
All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt,
"An evil disease," they say, "clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more."
Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.
But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up;
That I may repay them.
By this I know that You are will pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And set me before Your face forever.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.
Consider the Poor
You may have heard of the blessings Jesus spoke of in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-10). Here's a "blessing" from the Old Testament that is less will-known. "Blessed is he who considers the poor" (Psalm 41:1).
The Hebrew word translated considers means "to take thought for others." The word translated poor means "those in need."
There are many people around us who are poor — in love, in hope, and in the knowledge of God. Even though we cannot solve all their problems, we can show them that we care.
We may not have lots of money, but we can give of ourselves. We can let needy people know that we're thinking of them. We can listen as they tell their stories. We can treat them with courtesy and respect. We can pray for them. We can write letters of encouragement. We can tell them about Jesus. If we can do nothing else, we can love them.
Think about those who live only for themselves, always trying to get ahead, looking for the next thing to make them happy. Compare them with people who give themselves to others. Which ones possess inner calm, strength, and joy!
The place of God's blessing is easily entered. Consider the poor.
