Proverbs 19:7 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.” (Proverbs 19:7 NKJV)

He gives us such a powerful reminder, our help comes from heaven - our only dependable source for everything. We put our trust, neither in men and women, nor friends nor families. They are not always available when we are in trouble and in want. Yes, the Lord uses them. When we are in need - God may send our families and friends. But, they neither have the power nor the resources to rescue us. Some may at times despise us or even run away from us. They are not designed to carry our troubles, as we all are not. The reason, Lord Jesus invites us to cast our burdens upon Him. It is written: “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22 NIV)

So, as one who had already been rescued by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, our trust is in Him. Yes, we are warned that in our lack, in this world, many if not all may abandon us! Hence, as children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, let us declare boldly in faith as the psalmist proclaims: "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."(Psalm 34:1-10 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
