PSALM 10:14

But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

 TO PONDER

The problems of life are all around us. We see trouble in our world, in our neighbourhoods, our families, in poverty and in sickness. You might be feeling some of these afflictions today?

Our verse today reminds us that He sees the troubled, the weak, the poor or disadvantaged and takes their grief and concerns in His hands. We need to take comfort in knowing that God knows all of our troubles. He doesn’t stand at a distance. Instead we must trust that He sees, cares and will send help at the right time.

Today, reach back and take His hand. Accept the grace He offers and believe His promises. He is a good Father. Your Father, who cares so much for you.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, I know You are a God who heals all kinds of sickness and illness through the power of Your Holy Spirit. I ask that You would send healing and wholeness to all who are suffering at this time. Father, fill them with your Holy Spirit so that in this time of difficulty they will have comfort, strength and the courage necessary to endure. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
