Read Psalms 140:12  This verse tells us that God will take care of 2 groups of people.  Who are they?  We know who the poor are, but who are the afflicted?  Someone who is afflicted is someone who is handicapped.  A handicapped person is someone who has a crooked hand or someone who walks with a limp or someone who is in a wheelchair.  A handicapped person might be someone who can’t talk very clearly or they might be someone who isn’t as smart as we are.  Handicapped people are different.  Some kids make fun of people who are different, but that makes them feel bad.  Do you like to be made fun of?  I don’t.  Neither does a handicapped person.  They may be different from us, but they have feelings just like we do.  And our verse says that God will take care of them.  God loves handicapped people and He frowns on people who make fun of handicapped people.  God takes care of the handicapped – the afflicted - and the poor.  We should take care of the afflicted and the poor as well.  I want to be on God’s side, don’t you?
