"But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me." (Psalm 40:17)
And He thinks upon the needy, for the purpose of supplying their need; for we are assured, "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
But whom will He help? Why, those who need help, of course. This was shown by Jesus when the people followed Him. "He received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing." (Luke 9:11)
It is our need that recommends us to the loving care of the Lord, and our willingness to receive that, measures the amount bestowed upon us.--Present Truth, May 31, 1894--Psalm 40:17.
