This fact makes the case for prayer. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing –– Deut.10:18 NIV. Not many people study the verses of “widow.” To do so blows your mind.
From Exodus to Revelations, God repeatedly and pointedly favors the disenfranchised, the proletariat, the 99%, the unpopular, the underdogs. Forget about smoking pot; it’s not as much a sin as mistreating (or not helping) the widow, orphan, foreigner, poor — the quartet that encapsulates what we now call “powerlessness.”
from DumpaDay
Often, we go to prayer after other options have failed. We are powerless. Outside of divine intervention, things look bleak.
The fabulously fantastic news is God LOVES people who are desperate, broken, without resources. His heart goes out to them.
This should flood your heart with faith. When you cry tears before the Lord, He is there crying with you. Given this unmeasurable empathy, you can be sure He will answer.

I totally agree. The church’s message has become so warped over the years that the very ones Jesus came to set free are the ones the church ignores. God post. Your pics are always so eye-catching…
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I actually spend time looking for good photos. They draw the reader in.
I love the picture from DumpaDay you posted above!

I know this message is truth from personal experience. Well said, MSB!!
😀
Great post, thanks!
I’m off sugar for Lent and the plate of waffles smothered in butter and sugar made me salivate… oh so cruel. 🙂
sorry! yikes!
The Bible says not to be a stumbling block to your brother or sister! Please forgive me!
I so appreciate your words, I have tried to give up smoking and know and believe that GOD will do it not by my works, but only through Him! Thanks for encouraging my faith!
Keep trying! God will help you! We had a brother struggle to stop for 20 years. Then he got the the little kids to pray for him. That did the trick!
love the hummingbird picture unusal
😀
Amen to that…and I love the waffles!
tasty!
Yes He does. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. God has NEVER let me down – not once.
Praise Him!
I do.
Right next to my monitor is a card I made that states this:
“The music of creation, of life, points to a Creator, points to God.
Praise God everyday. Praise Him always. He alone is worthy to be praised.
Sing His praises. Thank Him for His blessings. Thank Him for His mercy and loving-kindness.”
