God's Heart for Poor Children

Poor children hold a special place in God's heart, as emphasized by the numerous references to both children and the poor throughout the Bible. The podcast highlights Psalm 72, particularly verse 4, which calls for the defense of the needy and vulnerable, linking this to the current back-to-school season. With approximately 90% of children in the U.S. attending public schools, a significant portion of those from impoverished backgrounds are found in these educational settings. This underscores the importance of caring for these children, as they embody the vulnerable population that God explicitly commands us to support.
