He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and he will rescue them, He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him. – Psalm 72:13-14(NLT)
FOR THE WEAK AND NEEDY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you struggling with a weakness in your life?
Find solace in knowing you’ll be rescued by Christ
Have your needs stayed unmet by your loved ones?
You will only feel complete when you seek God’s Son.
The Lord will redeem you from violence and oppression
Only through him, will you be freed and find salvation
You are the apple of his eyes and is very precious to him
Rejoice and be glad that you will be rescued from sin.

Our world caters more to the strong and marginalize the weak and the needy. In some underdeveloped countries, needs are minimized and forgotten. In faced paced places, nobody even cares if someone else is in need. The important thing for them is to work hard for their money and power. To each his own has become the norm and nobody goes out of their way to find out how they can help someone out.
In Jesus’ time, he always had time for the weak and the needy and those who were mistreated or judged by the public. He feels pity for them and he promised that he will rescue them because they are precious to him.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to extend compassion to the weak and needy.
REFLECTION
Why does God have a special place in his heart for the weak and needy?

He has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help. – Psalm 22:24 (NLT)
GOD LISTENS TO THE NEEDY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have your needs been minimized and neglected?
Do you think that people don’t see and you feel rejected?
Has someone you love made it appear that your needs don’t matter?
Do you feel that you are a sinking ship that has lost its rudder?
Be joyful because God listens to the needy
He is there to give you help and is always ready
He will never belittle the suffering you encounter
He never turns his back on any of his believers.
What kind of message does it relay to you if your needs were totally ignored by your loved ones. When I experienced minimization in the past, I’d feel angry and rejected. Thank God that he has delivered me from neediness.
The bible says that God listens to our cries for help. He never ignores or belittles any of our needs, sufferings or pain. Despite the lies that Satan perpetuates in people’s minds that usually sounds like, “You and your needs are not important,” or voices inside that says “You don’t deserve anything!” Many years of my life were stolen by the enemy with these negative thoughts. I thank God he freed me.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from lies.
REFLECTION
How can lies be busted?
