Читать книгу Walk With Me, Jesus: A Widow's Journey - Ronda Chervin Ph.D. - Страница 9

The helpless are crushed, laid low; they fall into the power of the wicked,

Who say in their hearts, "God pays no attention, shows no concern, never bothers to look."

Rise up, LORD God! Raise your arm! Do not forget the poor. Why should the wicked scorn God, say in their hearts, "God doesn't care"?

But you do see; you do observe this misery and sorrow; you take the matter in hand. To you the helpless can entrust their cause; you are the defender of orphans.

FOR PONDERING

Do you ever feel as though the whole world has forgotten you and your family? Have even your closest friends returned to "normal" life, or (worse) urged you to get on with your life, as though you could outrun your grief?

The Lord sees you; He observes your misery and sorrow. Listen to the words of Isaiah …

But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me."

Can a mother forget her infant, or be without tenderness for the child of her womb?

Even should she forget, I will never forget you.

See, upon the palms of my hands I have written your name...

Isaiah 49:14-15

How does this passage apply to my life today?

PRAYER OF THE DAY

"Lord, You do see; You do observe this misery and sorrow. You take the matter in hand. To You the helpless can entrust their cause; You are the defender of orphans and widows. Jesus, I trust in you."
