And I, God of Israel, will not Leave Them Thirsty

Isaiah 41:17

"The poor and homeless are desperate for water,

their tongues parched and no water to be found.

But I'm there to be found, I'm there for them,

and I, God of Israel, will not leave them thirsty.

God's heart is for the poor and homeless; the less fortunate; the oppressed.  His promise here is that he will not leave them thirsty.

A couple of good nuggets here.

First, if we are homeless and poor, it is a strong promise onto which we can cling.  What is better than having Creator-God on your side when you are powerless and oppressed?

Second, we need to get onboard with where God's heart is.  Who knows that bringing water to the poor and homeless isn't us fulfilling this promise as an ambassador of God.
