PSALMone Who Regards For The Weak...

‘Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.’ Ps 41:1-2

In psalm 41, we see that the Lord blesses someone who has regard for the weak. I thought that the blessing for psalm 41 can be summed up in verse 12, ‘In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.’

The one who has regard for the weak can be sure that God’s presence is forever with him. The Lord is indeed pleased with someone who has regard for the weak. He will watch over those with a heart for the poor, the needy and the weak. He assures them that He will be with them to the end of the ages.

Great is the love of God and he honours those who aligns their heart with His. For God is an everlasting God, the God of ages.

I pray that God would indeed give us a heart that goes out for the weak, for the world is getting colder each day. If we aren’t concern with the weak, who would?

God’s heart goes out to the weak and if you ask Him for the things He delights in, He will surely answer you. Do you delight in God? If you do, then you would do things which please the Father’s heart.

Would you ask God for a new heart today?
