Reflection on the Psalms (Psalm 41)


“Blessed are those who have regard for the weak 
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble. 
The Lord protects and preserves them 
they are counted among the blessed in the land 
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed 
and restores them from their bed of illness."


When we think of something weak our mind often goes to the physical.  We think of weak muscles, an image of a puny person or weak people we may know.  What about our weakness in resisting temptation and fleeing from evil?  Gods word says that in our weakness He is made strong.  Its through our weakness that Gods strength is often manifested in awesome ways.  We are also told that we will not be tempted beyond what we can bare.  We are promised protection and sustenance when we rely on God and allow Him to use our weakness for his glory.
