When regarding those who are weak

IMG_2850.jpeg

“Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble. The Lord protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.” (Psalm 41:1-3 NIV)

There are three promises given in the first three verses of Psalm 40 for those who regard the weak. Each one is stated twice. Repetition is often used in Scripture to provide emphasis about something God wants you to understand clearly. 

For those who regard the weak

1)    God blesses them – “Blessed are those who have regard for the weak” and “they are counted among the blessed in the land.”

 2)    God protects and preserves them - “The Lord protects and preserves them” and “he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.”

3)    God heals them -“The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”

Therefore

 I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.” (Psalm 40:11-13 NIV)
