PSALM 40:14 New International Version
May all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
If you care about someone or some people who are suffering serious injustice, socially or financially;
or if you know folk who are about to be seriously disadvantaged , Psalm 40 verse 14 is the word of God.
In prayer we can and should defend the oppressed.
Whether they are being taken to the cleaners through the courts or threatened by financial institutions,we can pray for people who need prayer.In every land there are people who have nothing to sell but their labour.. In prayer and where possible in action we are free to support them from discrimination, persecution and oppression .
Systems which keep people in poverty,
practices which keep people at a disadvantage,
firms which take unfair advantage of the underprivileged ,
and governments which keep people in subjection,..........
do so in the face of GOD.
We can proclaim the word of God prophetically because it is the truth.
Where the lives of individuals are threatened by deprivation of food, deprivation of healthcare, or actual physical oppression and violence..........we can pray the whole verse !
May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. PSALM 40:14
.....and we can pray this on behalf of family members, folk we know and every soul who stands in the need of prayer including ourselves.
When the Lord draws our attention to good people with their backs to the wall, He sometimes brings to mind a verse which speaks to their situation.
Sometimes we can speak aloud the word of God. We can also bring oppressed people before God in the arms of prayer with a very appropriate verse in mind.....believing that we are praying in Spirit and Truth. Where the word of God, in the bible, reveals the mind of God for people alive today, we can pray in love with particular faith and hope.
