Dec 9 – Strength – Isaiah 25:4
Isaiah is giving reason to praise the Lord. In this verse as a social reformer the prophet points out that the Lord is the one who gives strength to the poor. Jesus pointed out that it is the responsibility of the people of God to care for the widow, orphan, sick, visit the ones in prison, and protect the vulnerable. When we do it to the least of them, we are doing unto Him. When Mother Theresa was one time by a reporter why she could so beautifully and effectively minister to the lepers of Calcutta. She told this person that whenever she minster to the leper she was looking at Jesus in His distressing disguise. The Lord has called us to minister in His name to the less fortunate. This is an act of worship. We are ministering to Him.
