Lowly, Pt II

He cares for the lowly . . .  

 - From Psalm 138

I don't know where people get their misinformation about Christianity. It says in today's Psalm, and all over the place in the Psalms, and constantly throughout the Old Testament, as well as the New, that God cares for the lowly

I don't think we need to review the definition of "lowly." Nor is a discussion in order, of what it means "to care." It's quite simple. 

God cares for the lowly. This is central. It's essential. It's basic. It's foundational. 

There is no level of inconsistence to the point - - - I'll write it again: God cares for the lowly

If you have any part of an eternal perspective, if you really believe that the last shall be first, there's no way we should have the kinds of problems that we're facing, in the world. 

In eternity, as we gather at Cafe Omega, and talk about current events, we will marvel that, in the temporal realm of years like 2022, we let so many nitpicky things upset us so. 

Someone might say, at some future point on the infinite, endless timeline: "I guess it's true. He really does care for the lowly. I mean, look who's got it made here! And to think that, compared to our mortal lives, this awesomeness will never end!"

If you really, really believe that God cares for the lowly, then I suspect that every one of us can find some ways to change. We all have some attitudes we can, and should, adjust.
