Day 165: Psalms 41, 42, 43 and 44

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak. (Psalm 41:4)

Some people are weak, some are strong. Some people are poor while others are wealthy. Some don't have enough to eat while others enjoy plenty. Some people struggle at math while for others it's a breeze. Some fall to addictions while others celebrate sobriety. Some people have holes in their clothes and others run out of closet space for clothes they don't even where anymore.

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak. Or we could say, It is the moral responsibility of the strong to care for the weak... the 'haves' for the 'have nots.'

A real man does not take advantage of those weaker than himself; he protects them. Those with plenty should do more than say, There but for the grace of God... They should share. Those for whom things come easy should help those who struggle. The sober should help those who want to be. Do we build bigger closets or clothe the naked?

Do you have regard for the weak, or just avoid eye contact?
