「Open your mouth, judge righteously,

　And plead the cause of the poor and needy.」　Amen.

To Lemuel, king of Massah, his mother gave words of admonition. It was not to spend power on women, not to indulge in alcohol, and, in today's passage, to have compassion for the weak and the poor and to play politics to help them. Whether they are men or women, rich or poor, if you treat them well, they will become important. Jesus loved and cared for me, a miserable, poor, and unaccomplished person. That is why I am alive today.

　May I thank the Lord for His love today....　

God bless you.   See you next week.
