The Message After Devotional: 

The Message After Devotional: Psalm 41:1-2

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.   

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

Have you ever felt as though you are always giving and never receiving?Sure you have! This is what happens when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in ministry. In our devotional text, the writer revealed several principles that will help us to look at our role from a different perspective. First, we see Consideration for the Oppressed. “Blessed is he that considereth the poor”. The word blessed literally translates from the original language and means to be happy. Additionally, the writer revealed, Compensation for the Offering. “the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.” When we do the will of God by helping those who are less favored and less fortunate, God returns the deed by delivering us in the time of trouble. The text also revealed to us, our Complete covering from Opposition in verse 2. The one who considers the poor will be preserved, kept alive, he will be happy in this life, and safe from his enemies. Well, until the next time my Christian friends, let us not overlook others so that our God may continue to look favorable upon us. 

The Prayer: 

Father, forgive us for not considering our brothers and sisters. In the name of Jesus the Christ we pray. Amen.
