"Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
That I might shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation." -Psalm 9:13,14
"The Lord is known by the judgement which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands." -Psalm 9:16
One would think that men would not grow so vain as to think themselves anything but men, but it appears to be a lesson only a divine schoolmaster can teach to some proud spirits.... -Charles Spurgeon
"..the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men." -Psalm 9:19,20
Mercy is ready to her work as bit as much as justice can be. Needy souls fear that their are forgotten; if it be so, let them rejoice that they shall not be always so. -Charles Spurgeon
The needy and the poor are mentioned here, those that require mercy, of course, and not the very richest amongst us, though some know real blessings of increase. Indeed, in America, we stand as each one of the kings or queens of the land, having a say in the ruling hands.
May we all be equal to not forgetting, not taking for granted, and not becoming complacent, but having a fire of faith and hope, and remember the call of God to our hearts, into our lives.
In the shadowy doldrum between USA Thanksgiving and Christmas, let us not forget the needy and down-trodden, let us appreciate those who need an advocate, and show mercy to those that could surely be done a good turn by at least one person in their lives; let love reign, or as Paul said, "let brotherly love continue...".
