Ps. 41 takes on so much personal meaning for me since I have severe medical challenges like the author of this chapter. One of the keys I see to his healing and restoration is described in verse one … this man has regard for the weak. Other translations say, “Blessed is the man who considers and cares for the poor and needy.”

Actually, there are very few in our society who do this. Prayerfully, this is an activity worth pursuing. It obviously brings healing.

PRAYER: Father, open our eyes to opportunities to care for the poor. Give us the grace to respond with appropriate action.
