A Psalm for Today: Psalms 74:21

A Psalm for Today: Psalms 74:21
Oh, do not let the oppressed return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your name.


One of the meanings of the word ashamed in the Hebrew language is disappointment. In Isaiah 61:7, God promises a double portion for our shame. Someone has been disappointed. Be encouraged today for God will give you a double portion for Your hurt. The key is trusting in Him. Now hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven Matthew 5:3.James says that God has chosen the poor rich in faith. The recognition that apart from God we have nothing is to be poor in spirit. Those who recognize their spiritual poverty and turn to God will have cause for great rejoicing. They will truly praise the Lord.
