poor & needy

Psalm 9:18 But the needy will not be forgotten forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

What does this mean 4 us today?

My Life Application Bibles says, "The world may ignore the plight of the needy, crushing any earthly hope they may have. But God, the champion of the weak, promises that this will not be the case forever.

"Wicked nations, which forget the Lord & refuse to help their people, will be judged by God. He knows our needs, He knows our tendancy to despair, & He promised to care for us. Even when others forget us, He will remember.

Interesting words to ponder as we consider health care reform, further welfare adjustments, & immigration issues.
