Psalm 41:1-13
41:1-3 God loves and supports the people who help people. God blesses people who use their blessings of talents and resources to assist others in their areas of weakness. Our God is an active God, actively philanthropic, and it pleases him when we are as well. God will strengthen such a person because their life has such an instrumental impact on humanity. He strengthens such people because there's a lot to be done and the workers are few, Matthew 9:37-38.
41:4-9 When David was abandoned and rejected by everyone, he was still claimed and loved by God. God's presence and love and power is present, steadfastly, in our lives. He has infinite compassion and mercy. David experienced bone-deep, soul-crushing weariness but God was able to heal Him of it, and support him through it. So will God do for us.
41:10-12 David wanted to rise in strength again, with integrity. He wanted to represent his faith and God properly. He wanted to be with God on earth and in heaven forever. For nothing else did David hope.
41:13 As always, David expressed praise for God. He was constantly awed by God's majesty, but the abundance of His goodness, strength, responsiveness, and character of justice.
