Psalm 107:1-3, 33-43 ESV
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the evil of its inhabitants.
He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.
And there he lets the hungry dwell,
and they establish a city to live in;
they sow fields and plant vineyards
and get a fruitful yield.
By his blessing they multiply greatly,
and he does not let their livestock diminish.
When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
he pours contempt on princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
but he raises up the needy out of affliction
and makes their families like flocks.
The upright see it and are glad,
and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;
let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
Whoever is wise let him attend to these things, considering the steadfast love of the Lord!
Sounds a lot to me like “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and love your neighbor as yourself…”
You see this psalm says that God lifts up the lowly and provides for those who society leaves behind. And we are called to do the same thing if caring for the needy and down trodden. We can not allow the last, lost, least, or little to be left behind or forgotten because the psalmist says “Whoever is wise let him attend to these things”. If we are wise in the Lord we will attend to the last, lost, least, little.
We are called to love and lift up…
Are you attending to these things?
