Keeping His Promise

Good Morning,

Psalm 10:17 (NIV)
You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry
Psalm 10:17 (NLT)
Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless.
Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.

There are times, I must admit, when I wonder about God hearing the cries of the afflicted and the helpless. And, when those thoughts come into my head, I begin to wonder just how God will comfort them in some way.

When I had those thoughts after reading this verse today, I heard plainly at least one way that God helps those who need Him most. You see, what I heard when I asked about how He was going to keep this promise, He spoke to me and His answer was pretty simple and obvious. His answer was, "You." That's all. Just, "You." No explanation as to how I'm to help...now, please, read here how WE'RE supposed to help, not just me as an individual.

We are not only God's workmanship, His creations, but we are also His workers while we live on this earth. God keeps many of His promises by using us as His hands and feet, His eyes and ears.

What I heard this day is that I'm to keep my eyes and ears open to see and hear what is needed. Then, I'm to do what I can, where I am, with what I have, to bring comfort to those who most need it.

I think that's the call for every one of us today...and every day.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
