Thought of the day: poor and needy
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!”
But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay. (Psalm 70:4-5 NIV)
“I am poor and needy.” This is a moment of vulnerability for David. I think we all read this and know it is true of ourselves. Yes, I am also poor and needy. I need comfort. I need certainty. I need motivation. I need energy. I need stability. I need validation. I need communication. I need hope. I need love.
Money doesn’t buy what I need. I am poor because I do not have these things.
So come quickly, God. May I always be able to say, “The LORD is great!”
