Whom Shall We Send? (Poem)

Blessed Is The One…
Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him; the Lord protects him.. (read Ps 40)
Our modern day world revolves around the self and my own comfort. It is the survival of the fittest, blame game. A walk on others to get to the top. Yet, God will not have it so.

The very one you may look down to, because he/she is not so spiritually advanced. Yet, caring for the least in your midst, brings a blessing with a promise. It is a promise of God’s protection in the day of trouble.
