Not helpless, helpful

“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds (Psalm 149:5 KJV).”

Many of God’s children become incapacitated; bedridden and homebound. They learn to trust the LORD and count it all joy. (James 1:2) “When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches (Psalm 63:6 KJV) They are infirmed but not helpless; they’ve found an important way to help others. God opens doors of intercessory prayer.

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints (Ephesians 6:18 KJV).”

Diligent and disciplined, prayer warriors persevere.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men (1 Timothy 2:1 KJV).”

Our homebound have a calling and purpose.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16b KJV).”
