Rescue the weak and needy

Psalms 82:3-4
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
 maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
 Rescue the weak and the needy;
 deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

This is one thing Jesus came for - to rescue the weak and needy, and bring them home as God's children:


Hebrews 2:9-10
“But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering."


Romans 9:25-26
 “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved. ’”
 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God. ’”

Surely if God calls someone to do something (like adoption) - will He not provide both the means to do it, and the ability to care for that child?  When we reach heaven, we will never regret having given ourselves for others in His name.

The place of abundance

Ps.66:10,12,20 - "For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. ...we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. ... Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!"

This is our hope in trials: that our God will bring us out to a place of abundance!  And that no matter what  our circumstances seem to be, His ears are listening to our cries, and His steadfast love is upon us!
