Psalm 40:11-17
Dear RTB’ers,
I said yesterday that God’s provision is infinitely ongoing. Today’s last verse repeats that thought, As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. (v. 17a) I see “takes thought for me” as a continual thing, that the Lord is constantly taking thought of me – and everyone else in the universe! Seldom do I think of myself as “poor and needy”. As is often the case with me, I compare myself with others whom I see as less fortunate and more in need of help than I. Sadly, the fact is that I don’t really know how poor and needy I truly am – especially how poor and needy I truly was before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior; how poor and needy I was before I was filled with the Holy Spirit; before I realized that …every good and perfect gift is from above… (James 1:17a, NIV) Truly, God’s provision is infinitely ongoing!! I am / we are blessed!!
Blessings!
