Hear the cry

Proverbs 21:13
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard.

There is a preponderance of struggling individuals, families, cities, states and even countries. It isn’t because these are not hardworking or not smart, but conditions and circumstances that have overtaken them and for most of these life is a struggle and endless chasing of bubbles. For the privileged and blessed ones, it is an opportunity for ministry to God’s creation. Abraham interested God because God knew through him; the nations of the world will be blessed.

Isaiah 58:9-12
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

Hear the cry around you, build the old waste places; Raise up the foundations of many generations, do not forsake, neglect or disregard them. Do that which you have the ability to do, so that when your crying season comes on, your Father in Heaven may hear and respond to you.

Be Encouraged,
