Holy Help

  “But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.” Psalms‬ ‭70‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Poverty and vulnerability are like twins. They are hardly separable. In fact, poverty and a strategic discouragement of economic empowerment policies are mostly adopted by superiors, who are obsessed with the mindset of keeping others in perpetual servitude.

Decent Desire

http://bible.us/psa70.4-5.nkjv Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!”.

Unfortunately, the desire for change in personal life, family and career, based on the level of changes in the life, family and career of others is indecent. Only a desire for the glory of God in all aspirations in life can both be decent and not desperate.
