Job 5:15 But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
Psalms 9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
Psalms 10:14 But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless.
Psalms 10:17 O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
Psalms 35:10 All my bones shall say, “O LORD, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?”
Psalms 72:12-13 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.
Psalms 107:41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.
Psalms 140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy.
When people call on God, He will not abandon them. He will hear their cry for help and deliver them. What He won’t do is answer prayers given up to false gods and idols. These cries for help will go unanswered. God will not be mocked. If we live in such a way that does not keep God first and honor Him with our thoughts, actions, and words first in our life, then we too can expect no answer to our prayers. We will rightly get what we sow. If we sow our life and live our lives apart from God we will reap the just rewards of our sowing. We do well to examine our hearts and mind in and through His word. We do well to intentionally choose to seek and desire to know Him more and more. We do well to humbly serve, honor, follow, trust, and obey Him with all our life, all of our days, for His glory.
