Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with God's Concern for the Poor as we pick up in Psalm chapter 41 verse one and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck let us turn at this time in our Bibles to Psalm 41.

This is another one of the Psalms

that begins with a beatitude.

The very first Psalm begins with a beatitude. very first song begins with the beatitude blessed is the man

the poor. It is biblical that our concern should be for the poor. In fact there is a

scripture that says he that lendeth to the poor lendeth to the Lord. So if ever you want to loan the Lord anything, go out and
