"When the poor cry out, YAHWEH hears
and saves them from distress.
YAHWEH's angel encamps and patrols,
to keep safe those who fear HIM.
Revere YAHWEH, all you, HIS saints,
for those who fear HIM do not live in want.
The mighty may be hungry and in need;
but those who seek YAHWEH lack nothing.
Come, listen to me, my children;
I will show you how to fear YAHWEH.
If you desire long life;
if you want to enjoy prosperity,..."
- Psalm 34:7-8. 10-11. 12-13
(One may be discouraged by one's failure in past trials, weakness in those of the present, and uncertainty of one's resistance in the future. Our own weapons are always rusting and loose in our hands. The bright and effective sword is in the hand of GOD alone. There will be no ultimate defeat, not a bone broken for those who are one with the Lamb of our Passover on the Cross.
Let our experience be that of the poor and the humble. GOD is near to those who have no other support but HIM. When there will be no assurance, GOD will be obliged, to take charge of those to whom HE owes fidelity.)
