Feeling Poor?
November 27, 2011

In one way or another, we can all relate to Psalm 86:1 where David says, “I am poor and needy.” Even the richest among us should understand that poverty and need relate more to the spirit than to the wallet. When billionaire Rich DeVos speaks to groups he often says, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace.”

Psalm 86 tells us that the help God provides is not measured by a monetary ledger sheet. When we acknowledge that we are poor and needy, it’s not so God will lavish material riches on us. No, we do so to open the door to other, more valuable treasures.

Here’s what God does for the poor and needy. He will “preserve” our lives and “save” all those who trust in Him (v.2). He will be “merciful” and “ready to forgive” (vv.3,5). He will listen to and answer prayer (vv.6-7).

But we’re not to take God’s blessings without giving back. We have a responsibility to learn God’s ways, walk in His truth, “fear [God’s] name,” praise the Lord, and “glorify [His] name” (vv.11-12).

Do you consider yourself among the “poor and needy”? If so, welcome to the club. Let’s not forget all the spiritual blessings God has for us and the godly response we should have toward His generosity.

We’re thankful for the blessings, Lord,
You give us day by day;
Now help us show our gratitude
By walking in Your way. —Sper

The poorest man is he whose only wealth is money.

Read: Psalm 86

I am poor and needy. —Psalm 86:1

Bible in a year:
Ezekiel 30-32; 1 Peter 4

Megs, that is an EXQUISITE graphic! I would just love to be sitting near that waterfall, in a comfortable lawn chair, listening to the water gently falling onto the rocks - and dreaming about the ‘good old days’.....(before they became the ‘yucky’ “Golden Years”.) LOL!

Sunday Blessings to All!

Are you all having trouble posting? Hope its not just me! I tried earlier and couldn’t get it to go at all. This time I reloaded many times for each step. I almost gave up!

I looked at all the pretty things you all have posted and they are all beautiful as ever. I am not going to try to post each one with what I just went through.

Meg, I saw your lovely church opening and it was so pretty. And here I am “playing spring.”

I had company earlier and am now getting ready to run out for some cold drinks and chocolate milk. Will try to be in touch later!
