Today's Verse: Psalm 34:6

Thursday, October 6, 1949

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

So few hear the cry of the poor or respond to the plight of the disadvantaged. If we are going to be true children of our Father, his values must become our own. The Father's lost sheep must become our quest. The Father’s wounded, broken, and impoverished sheep must be our priority for love (1 John 3:16-18). Let's help others around us who are in need to find God’s generous grace and help them know that when they call to God, they are not forgotten. Let's be his delivery system of grace and partners at his keeping this promise!

My Prayer...

Gracious and Holy Father, please use me to be a delivery system for your grace. Give me a heart for the kinds of people Jesus welcomed and a willingness to generously help. I pray this in his name, Jesus, your greatest gift of grace. Amen.
